One World One Heart - Blog Celebration and Give-Away!



Welcome my art blog - Artsy Visions! Greetings from Canada!

I love this event and meeting other bloggers from all over the world! To celebrate the One World One Heart Blog Event, I am giving away 2 prizes! Each prize consists of 2 original ATCs made by me, a selection of ephemera and 2 digital collage sheets from Collagevisions (your choice of sheets). Both prizes are pictured above!

As this is a blogging event, you must have an active blog to enter to win one of these prizes. To be entered into the draw, you must leave me a comment with a link back or an email address so that I can get in touch with you if you win! This event runs through Feb 14 (midnight Pacific time), and winners will be announced on February 15. Good luck and thanks for visiting my blog! Happy Blogging!
