January Get Inked - Mermaids & Give-A-Way

First, I want to tell you how hard this is for me...
I'm not a real good sales person...
I always feel like I'm begging people to buy a product. 
I guess that's why dh says I'll never be a big name in the game ~ 
I don't like pushing products on people.

Anyway, I put alot of time into designing stamps for the Get Inked Kit at QKD each month and this year I'm designing specifically for you! 
Dh says I need to start promoting them more so here goes...
I've chosen this years themes and they have all been requests from YOU!

A few of the themes (in no particular order) are:  Realistic Looking Flowers; Exotic Zoo Animals; Barns & Tractors; Women Steampunk, Day of the Dead, Home/Porch.  There are several more but that gives you an idea on what's coming.

January's Get Inked Kit
is...
Mermaids!

GI - Jan - Mermaids 2

I know the stamp on the left is hard to discern but it's an ocean view with a lighthouse in the background as you can see from the examples below.

The kit comes with the stamps and sentiments in the photo above as well as Stream Alcohol Ink and Mermaid Stickles Glitter Glue.
GI - Jan - Mermaids 1

Starting next month I'll be sharing instructions on how to create each example I made using the kit PLUS
I'll be giving away a set of the stamps to one lucky reader.

I was going to start with January's Kit but we were working on the Technique Calendar and I didn't want to interrupt the creative flow.

SOOOO, this month I'll just be giving away a set of the stamps!
If you'd like a chance to win
simply post a comment.

You have until 2-4-12 to be entered in the drawing!
Good Luck Everyone!!

Roni, whether you're ever a "big name in the game" or not, I love you, love your site, and love that you don't play "the game". You tell it like it is and that is a rare and admirable quality indeed. Please don't ever change.

Oh, and I love the mermaid stamps! Thank you for the opportunity to win the January kit!

I love mermaids. My house is filled with mermaid Art. So glad I came across your site...a friend sent me a link when she saw the mermaid stamps.

Simply gorgeous! I'm always on the lookout for great mermaid stamps--had the pleasure of using one I love in a class once but cannot find it for my collection--but these are so very close and I love the sentiments. Fabulous set. From one Undine spirit to another, thanks for the chance to win :) Paula

You are so blessed to have such talent. I love making cards and do the best I can even though I have had multiple surgeries on them. That does not deter me from my creativity. I love the sea because my father was a Merchant Marine.
