Picture Plug - Featured Photographer

So I am proud to say I am collaborating with an awesome girl, Tara Johnson, who happens to also be an awesome upcoming photographer and designer! She is an undergraduate student in my program, Agricultural Communications. She has an awesome portfolio already and can do just about anything! We decided we wanted to start working together on some projects, mainly just to bounce ideas off each other, learn, network, etc. She's a great gal and I want to give her some added visibility (what little I can) through my blog! Hopefully I will be able to feature some more of her work soon, and our goal is to add her to my facebook page soon too. She is currently developing a portfolio of "alphabet photos" - which she will lay out, print, frame, etc for customers! So cool! She is quite talented, self-motivated and unique! Check out her photography blog to see some of her work, quirky style, and inside her brain.

Hats off to you, TJ!

Baseball Baby Boy!

So I've had a lot more entries in my contest for a free hand-painted mini cooler! Here is the link to my Facebook album, so go "Like" the entries and help someone win! They are getting creative, so check it out!
"Vote" for your favorite here! Like as many as you want!

Here's a sneak peak at Mr. Hayden sporting a Cubs cooler! For more photos, head to my Facebook page and see what people have shared with us!

This cooler is a small cooler with wheels, and it's the perfect size to take on a picnic, wheel into a baseball game or just have as a "personal" cooler! Not too big, but still convenient because it's not bulky but has wheels! I have painted a lot of this size and I think people really like it!

Contest Deadline Extended!

So I'm having a little contest to give away a free mini cooler, painted to the winner's liking...

I extended the deadline to this Friday, January 7th to enter! What I'm looking for is to let the world see how and where you use, hang, carry or tote your custom painted Creative Design! Just post a photo to my facebook page http://www.facebook.com/creative.designs.allyson of your cooler, canvas, ornament, etc. in-use! Be creative! I have an album of contest entries created and I'll keep updating it as photos come in! If you have more than one painted item from me, feel free to submit them all!

Remember to be clever, and feel free to "LIKE" or comment on entries you favor! That will help me decide who wins the big giveaway!  I am loving seeing what you do with your stuff!

Here is an example of what you might submit...but no bias, just a good example!

Kerri and Jordan are tailgating with Kerri's new Razorback cooler at a bowl game! WPS!

Good luck!

Points for creativity count, I want to see how you use your one-of-a-kind pieces! Post pics to http://www.facebook.com/creative.designs.allyson by the 4th!
