I have a special treat for you today. As you know I don’t do a lot of giveaways on this blog. In fact, the last one I did was for a Silhouette machine back in September of last year. However, when I was contacted about this particular item, I was pretty excited to offer it to you. I love that this is a home business run by a mom providing great stuff for people like you and me.
I received an email from photographer Jodi Gerber of ArtisticLetters. She told me how she has created an entire catalog of black & white letter images over the past 3 years – all by taking photos of objects in nature that resembled letters of the alphabet. I’ve seen these letters on a few projects, and even some hanging in a frame on a friend’s wall, and just love the way they look.
In fact, I have a project in the works that I will share with you early next week…
THE IDEAS
Using these letters is truly an original way to make artwork for your home – or even for scrapbooking, greeting cards, and digital designs consisting of wedding invitations, graduation announcements, baby’s birth, etc.). The possibilities are endless, it all depends on your creativity and imagination.
Here are some ideas from Jodi’s site, watch for mine next week!
 |
| Print your letters in sepia tones |
 |
| Create unique baby announcements |
 |
| Use in your scrapbooking layouts |
In talking with Jodi I found out that she recently decided to offer her ENTIRE catalog of 250+ letter images to the public on CD or via download so that anyone could create their own designs! That was great news for me, I can picture so many different ways to use these, and what great gifts can come of them!
THE DEAL
Jodi and I have teamed up to offer an exclusive discounted price just for Crafts by Amanda readers. Please visit her website www.BuyAlphabetPhotos.com and browse the images, testimonials, and ideas. Click on the “Crafts by Amanda” tab and enter CRAFTS as the password and you’ll find the exclusive discounted prices!
FREEBIE ALERT: Jodi is also offering CBA readers a freebie alphabet set (with full letter purchase) as a Bonus! I selected a “Black Damask” set that I thought you would all enjoy receiving.
The exclusive pricing and freebie offer expires tomorrow, Saturday, May 21 at 10 p.m. Eastern so be sure you take advantage of this great deal at www.BuyAlphabetPhotos.com while it lasts.
THE GIVEAWAY
I’m sure you’re chomping at the bit, dying to know what you can win right? I would be too! So here’s the deal. One lucky winner is going to receive a downloadable format of the Entire Catalog of 250+ ArtisticLetters images! Just imagine all the projects you can create with all of those different letters!
Now here’s the super awesome part.. this giveaway is NOT limited to just U.S. residents as it often is. Because the prize is downloadable and no shipping is required, anyone can enter! *

I'm always crocheting, crafting and creating something around here, so I KNOW these letters will come in handy, over and over again I'm SURE!.. So please count me in! Thanks! ~tina
I have always admired the work of photography through letters. I just find that type of artwork to be so full of love and intimacy. Who would have ever thought a picture could contain that? I would love to create on of these designs for our master bedroom – just to display the love my husband and I have for one another.
Please count me in as an entry into the giveaway.
Thanks! Valerie
My daughter and I are both font lovers and always looking for new, different, beautiful ways to express ourselves. She is an art major and I'm a craft club sponsor at my school. These letters would be a boon to both of us. BTW: I love this website and the fun ideas it brings me every week. Keep them coming and enter me into your giveaway!
If I won I would order our family's last name to compliment my living room decor! I love Jodi's work, I love the whimsy!
I would like to win mostly because of our new family venture Rest In Hope. RIH will be a non-profit org to help families with funeral expenses from the loss of an infant. We will also be donating to hospitals to aid them in supplying care packages/memory boxes to families in need. I hope to start organizing my home office soon and would LOVE to use these letters to spell out Rest In Hope as well as my 3 angel babies' names. Thanks for this opportunity!!

I would like to win this because my son has Cystic Fibrosis and I am connected to hundreds of other families who are also fighting this terrible disease. More than half of all kids with CF will not make it to age 18, and if I was to win this I would use the images to create a one of a kind memory books (at no cost) for each family that looses a child to this terrible disease so they have something to hold and look back at their most precious memories in a way that I hope would help them heal. I also joined both pages, signed up for the newsletter, and if I can remember my twitter sign on I will follow you there too. I have been following you for quite a while on FB now. Thank you for considering me – cheers & blessings to you!

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to win this so I could FINALLY finish making that alphabet poster that I am working on since … at least a year! I have a huge frame that I got at a fleamarket that is PERFECT for it! I started taking photographes of letters outside around town … already about a year ago. But I never started actually editing the photos – which will be a job of hours!!!
With theses letters – that definitely look better than mine :-) – I could just get right to work! Would be awesome!!!!
Thanks for the chance!
