This week our team is showcasing the Art Grip Aquarelles Watercolor Pencils, the PITT Pastel Pencils, and our very special guest Nathalie Kalbach is featuring the Gelatos! There may even be guest-starring roles by the PITT Artist Pens for doodling and drawing! I hope you've enjoyed the colorful inspiration we've had for you this week! We’ve been Blogging in Color!
Three Lucky Winners this week will get 3 sets of the PITT Pastel Pencils (red/yellow, blue/green, neutrals), a jar of Faber-Castell Chalkboard Paint, and $20 Stampendous reward card to choose their favorite images to color! WOW… these winners must have a U.S. mailing address (official rules here!)… BUT WAIT- Aussie Fans – The Stencil Specialist has you covered again this time!! One Australian Fan will win a Stampendous Stamp, a Dreamweaver Stencil (LJ size customer choice), and one Dreamweaver Stencils Regular Embossing Paste. Wow!!

I've been wanting to create this chalkboard for a couple of months now and this hop was the perfect opportunity with some of the best products in the business. I'm thrilled with how cute it has turned out and I love knowing it would be super simple to create new decor to adorn it. It can easily be changed for the season or the current holiday.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! We've really had fun this week creating with Faber-Castell’s awesome products. I'm already looking forward to the next opportunity to create with Faber-Castell. Don't forget to comment for your chance to win a prize! I'll see you again next week with more Stampendous goodness coming your way. Have a wonderful weekend!
