'UGLY BIZ CARD' CONTEST!

**(UPDATES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE!)**

My blog friends have convinced me to have a contest to see who can create the most exciting & whimsical creations from my "awesome-dealio-of-the-century-but-quite-unattractive" box of 1000 plain white business cards.

HERE'S THE SCOOP:

If you're interested, email me your addy at whimsy-girl@hotmail.com & I'll send you 11 biz cards. You will use your creative & crafty ways to give them a truly unique makeover! To keep it simple, please use the same "theme" for all your cards. For example: If doodling is your thing, doodle on ALL of them. If you're into collage, do them ALL collage style. Like, don't doodle on one, put stickers all over another, glue paper on the next, etc. Does that make sense? (Sorry for all the "rules", but I think it'll be easier to decide on a winner if the cards maintain a consistent theme.) Keep a biz card for yourself, then send the other 10 BACK to me & I'll have a vote to see who the winner is! I've also decided to attach your name &/or etsy address to the back of the card as "Artwork by: such & such" The biz cards will be mailed out in the orders I package up at the shop, or to random strangers I hand them to. Isn't that cool of me?

DEADLINE FOR CONTEST: Please have all the cards mailed back to me by September 1st.

"What's the prize?" you ask. I'll be giving the winner a fab WhiMSy love vintage button ring & a fork easel! Also, I was thinking that if anyone wanted to participate by sending promos or more prizes, just email me & let me know & I'll send you my address. I'll update any new info (such as new prize additions to the contest, & who has joined the contest, etc.) at the bottom of this page--so save this blog entry for future reference! If enough people decide to send extra prizes, we may have 2 or 3 winners declared!

Thanks everyone!!! I look forward to receiving your creations. And thanks for helping a girl with ugly biz cards out! Any questions? Just email or leave a comment!! Ciao!
