I'm back! I had an amazing cruise to Alaska (see my slide show at the bottom of this page) and while I was there, I couldn't resist picking up a little something for you!
I bought some of this beautiful fiber from Knitting with Class in Sitka, Alaska. And then I put together these fun, little souvenir bags. They include a yard of this beautiful thread wrapped around one of my photos...plus, a sweet Polar Bear Smooch (which is an Alaskan peppermint patty...yum!). I'll be tucking them in the next 10 ARTchix orders that are over $30. Woohoo! So, get yours today while supplies last.

Announcing Fabulous Winners!
Have you seen the amazing entries for our Postage Stamp Art Challenge? They are awesome! It was tough...but here are my 4 faves: Gena Boone Curtis (cool house on the left), Chris Little (postage stamp lampshade, awesome!), Miss Iowa (collage with cute doggie), and Eugenia Strange (In her mind...collage). Fantastic! All 4 winners will receive $20 gift certificates to ARTchix. Yay!

We recently hosted a Mini Bird Shrine art swap. And here are the lovely winners...Pamela McKenzie (blue shrine) and Gerri Herbst (pink shrine). Aren't they gorgeous?! Winners will receive fabulous bird-themed goodie bags.

Fuel Your Creativity!
Here are our current fun, inspiring activities:
Special Art Challenge: Eco Houses. Last month, we included a special art challenge with 100 of our orders. In each art challenge goodie bag, we included an Eco House, Eco Door and Fortune. Now I'm dying to see what everyone makes with them! Post your entry to Facebook or email it to gillian@artchixstudio.com.
This lovely house collage is by Lesley Dupont. She added a Mini Kitty and Gold Renaissance Borders. So pretty!
...
Art Swap: Mermaid and Kitty ATCs. Make 6 Artist Trading Cards (2.5" x 3.5" collages) with Mermaids and/or Kitties. Use at least one ARTchix product of your choice (we've got some awesome new mermaids and kitties to choose from). Snail mail to us in ARTchix-land by June 6th.
I made this ATC with our Eco Chunky Mermaids and our Tell Me More collage sheet.
...
New Art Challenge: BLUE. I was so inspired by the incredible shades of blue in Glacier Bay, Alaska. Share your art and photos that celebrate the beauty of blue.
How to enter: Post photos online (to your blog, website, etc with a comment and link to this post) or post them to the wall of our Facebook Fan Page OR email them to Gillian and she will post them for you. Maximum 3 entries per person.

Prizes: My kitties will pick winners that will receive exquisite blue-themed goodie bags.
See you next week with more fun and creativity! : )
