doodles unleashed

We have a giveaway today! I'm excited to be the next stop on my good friend Traci Bautista's blog book tour and share the news about the release of her fabulous new book, Doodles Unleashed: Mixed Media Techniques for Doodling, Mark-Making and Lettering.

Here’s the scoop on Doodles Unleashed -- With Doodles Unleashed, you’ll discover wildly new ways to bring doodling center-stage! Traci Bautista teaches you how to use doodling as a meditative exercise, a raw form of expression and a vehicle for telling your personal story. Work with an arsenal of creative tools, from markers, pencils and pens to stamps, stencils, inks and paints, to find unique, intuitive ways to make your mark.

Sounds like FUN!!! I love to doodle and this book from Traci is fabulous! Paint, papers and doodles! What could be better! yum!

And Traci has a giveaway for you! I'm giving away 2 kits of her Doodles Unleashed digital collage kit. It’s a 6-page printable with various images, art journaling cards and collage sheets!

To enter to win one of Traci's Doodles Unleashed digital collage kits leave a comment in this blog post (don't forget to leave a way for me to contact you) and I'll pick a winner at random on Wednesday at 5pm EST. YAY I love a giveaway!!

To order Traci’s new book Doodles Unleashed, click here. To order a signed copy -- which includes a few other goodies as well - click here! And don't miss Traci's Doodles online workshop here!

DON'T MISS THIS -- After you leave a comment on this blog post, hop on over to Traci's blog to leave a comment and enter to win a BIG GOODIE grand prize including some of my Studio products with Ranger!

PLEASE NOTE: thanks for entering the giveaway! Just to clarify the giveaway is for Traci's fabulous Doodles Unleashed digital collage kit, not her book. Her book has been so popular she's clear out of giveaway copies, but she's generously offered to giveaway two sets of the Digital Kits. It’s a 6-page printable with various images, art journaling cards and collage sheets! Exciting stuff! thanks Traci!!

UPDATE! we have our TWO winners!! Congrats to Jenn and Angela!

thanks everyone for playing!

I've got another giveaway planned soon!
