Win a free 20x24 Gallery Wrapped Canvas!!! CLOSED!!!
>> Thursday, March 25, 2010
Giveaway closed!!! I will be announcing the winner soon. Thank you so much for entering.
I want to welcome any Pioneer Woman readers who are joining us today!!! Ree has posted the PSE action conversions Erin and I did of her amazing actions. :-) I hope you come, sit down, and visit for a while. I have tons of free actions and presets (almost all actions work in Photoshop Elements!), storyboards, tutorials, etc. You can find everything by clicking on my top menu buttons or doing a search.
If you are new to the world of actions (you are missing so much!), you can read all about installing them here. Not only do I post free actions, but for many of them I also include step-by-step instructions on editing without the action. I want to teach you to edit yourself so you don't get completely dependant on actions. ;-)
Everything posted on my blog is absolutely free and can be used personally or commercially. :-)

I have a really incredible giveaway today thanks to the generous people at ColorIncPro Lab. They want me to give away a 20x24 gallery wrapped canvas to one of my readers. This canvas is worth $115. :-)
So how do you enter to win? Simple, just leave a comment. There will be a delay before your comment is published (I always read all comments before publishing them), so please only comment one time. :-) I will select one comment on Sunday (3-28) using Random.org and post the winner! Make sure you leave your full name, unique nickname, website or email address so I can tell you apart from the crowd!
ColorIncPro Lab also has a special promo for my readers. Just enter promo code ctp10 for 25 free 4x6's. And they also give new clients five free 5x7 prints so you can make sure your monitor is calibrated properly before you place a huge order!
I am ordering a gallery wrap this weekend and I will post about it as soon as I receive it. :-)
I have a Coffee With Morgan tutorial coming out, plus a few new free web and photo-enhancing actions. Plus a new texture tutorial that I think you will love. In fact, I have a back load of free stuff I can't wait to post here!!!
Thanks so much for visiting my blog, visiting my sponsors, giving such generous donations, and being so incredibly supportive. I have said it before, and I will say it again. I have the best hobby and blog readers in the world!

This is an awesome giveaway! My Aunt always, ALWAYS has her large prints done on canvas and I have always loved the way it looks, but have never invested in one. It is a small investment, because you can't just change the picture in the frame and have a new photo on the wall. But I thank you for the chance to win one!
ColorInc is the only lab I use. Love the consistent quality and fantastic customer service! Thanks!!!!!!
I just might have to give these guys a try! I think I've been to their website but didn't spend much time there. Off I go to check it out! I hope I win!!!

I've said it before (many times, actually), and I'll say it again...YOU ROCK, Rita! Would love to win this canvas :) Thanks for all of the awesomeness you continue to share with us!
I found your blog several weeks ago and have been trying to find the time to sit down and make sense of what actions really are. YOU are on my ToDo list, and I will make this happen.
My 46th birthday is Sunday, so maybe I will be a lucky girl. Who knows?
BTW-I linked over from Pioneer Woman. Thanks so much for all your work in making her actions available to all the PSE users! I admire your talents.
Oh my goodness! I'd love a huge gallery canvas, especially since my walls a bare and lifeless. I know just the photo to spruce it up!
Thanks Rita for the giveaway!

I don't usually comment -- I'm one of those shy ones! But I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for all the great info you give us on a daily basis.

now this is a fabulous giveaway. and after my long week I am definitely planning on winning ;)
What a fun contest! Love your blog, thanks for all of your hard work!
Rita - the gift you and Erin have given us Elements [and PS] users is HUGE. The main reason I have felt unsettled about only having PSE7 is the inability to use actions. Then I ran across your blog a month or two ago. I've been hooked ever since. Now, you've gone and coupled up with one of my favorite bloggers - PW. I can't wait to download the actions and try them out on my photos. You are truly a remarkable lady! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!
Wow ! What a great giveaway !!! pick me !!!!
