Thomas Kinkade Blitz

One of the product lines at Cornish Heritage Farms is the Thomas Kinkade stamps.  Highly detailed, gorgeous red rubber stamps that do the Painter of Light proud... and when I stamp with them, I feel like an artist myself!

Starting on Thursday, the crew at CHF is having a Thomas Kinkade Blitz.  Starting on Thursday, we'll have chat, giveaways, challenges and designer samples.  The details can all be found in this post on the Cornish forum: HERE.   So that everyone has plenty of time to work on the challenges, they are all posted in advance.

I hope you'll join us!  Post your creations on the challenge day and you could win!!!

To get those creative juices flowing, I thought I'd share a Thomas Kinkade card that I created at the end of last year.  To be honest, I can't remember if I've posted it already (sorry if I have... my memory is terrible lately).

Silent Night

I actually created this a long time ago and gave as a gift to someone special.  It's a simple image and project... but you don't have to spend 45 hours to make a masterpiece with a TK image.  They are truly a detailed work of art, in and of themselves.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope we'll see you in the forum later this week!
