Treasure Hunt: Junkie for Life!

So Glad you're here! Hopefully, you are on the last stop of the Treasure Hunt. If you are stopping here first, you really need to follow the Hunt starting at the Technique Junkie Design Team blog (http://techniquejunkies.blogspot.com). At each blog in the Treasure Hunt, you will pick up a letter -- and when you are done, you will come back here and leave me a comment with what you have found.

The winner of the Treasure Hunt will become a JUNKIE FOR LIFE! If you win, that will mean that all of the past and future materials are yours. CDs will automatically show up at your door. Issues will appear like magic. WooHoo! Let me tell you a little about the card above. My card uses a morphed version of the Starch Smoosh Technique, one of the 16 new techniques inside the August 2009 edition of the Technique Junkie Newsletter. When I morphed my card, I used colored cardstock in place of the glossy cardstock the technique calls for -- and it has a smashing result!! I used a stamp from Stampin' Up!'s Nature Nest Collection, and paired it with a SU Wheel, too.

The newsletters are being mailed today,too, so watch your mailboxes if you are already a Technique Junkie! And the link...I bet it is live by the time you finish reading this : )

Okay, no more turtling around! Leave me a comment at the end of this post with what you have collected on the Treasure Hunt. I will pick a winner when I return from CHA and vacation on Monday, August 3rd. Good Luck!

  12. I found out that we "JUST GESSO" with Pat Huntoon and the TJ'ers. Is this the correct answer? This was fun Pat and I learned a lot along the way. Love, Audrey at huffpede@yahoo.com

  13. Really cute card Pat ! The background looks fabulous... I'm anxious to try it out !

  15. I was able to gather clues from all of the blogs except Kathie (it was a black and white flower card and she didn't mention anything about the TJ hunt). Anyway, I am guessing that the treasure is "Just Gesso"

    Thanks for this great treasure hunt and sneek peeks of the newsletter! I hope I am the winner! lol

    ReplyDelete
  16. Pat, I enjoyed the Technique Trail. I love all the projects and am eager to receive my August issue.
    Please enter me into your Junkie for Life contest. My answer is Just gesso. However, I didn't see a letter on Kathie's blog and am guessing it should be a "u". Hopefully you will accept this comment into your drawing. Sure hope to win this one!

  120. When I first started to leave this comment - the clue on Kathie's page wasnt' there. I went back and it was the letter I thought it was as the clue is "Just Gesso". I'm looking forward to the next newsletter.
    Thanks

  121. WOW! I am first and I hope I got the letters right...love to be a lifer! "just gesso" is what I came up with! This was fun and there was great technique used on cards. Thank you for doing this. kt

  122. Well, it says there are "no comments", but I'll bet that is so we can't read them this time. I LOVED this treasure hunt! All the artwork was wonderful... a couple blogs I'd never visited before... and a genuine teaser for the next newsletter. So even though I probably won't win the treasure hunt I have 'won' a lot of ideas out of this hunt.

    Oh, the saying I collected was, "JUST GESSO" !

  123. Pat,
    I really enjoyed going through the hunt. I came up with Just Gesso as the code. And you know, I bought some of that, and haven't tried it. Guess I really should get busy, huh!
    Thanks so much,

  127. I wondered how you were going to keep us from seeing the "right" answer!!! Moderation is a good thing in many aspects of life, no?? ;)

    So I"m just guessing that I collected JUST GESSO?

    I love your blog and will probably have to break down and start a subscription if I'm NOT the lucky lifetime winner.

    Thanks for all you do to promote stamping/papercrafts.

  140. OMG...I am really the 1st to respond? YOu gotta be kidding me? Here goes: 1st of all this was fun and has really made me very, very excited for the new TJ newsletter. Alas, I will be in FL with my Mom and Dad for 6 days starting on 08/01, but I did deviate my Mom into the stamping world...she's a junkie too. Hhhmmm...we might just have to go "art supply shopping" so that we can play!!!

    Here's what I collected: JUST GESSO

    Thanks for the fun adventure. Will go back and leave comments when dinner is done. There are some great projects and several have me very, very intrigued. I didn't know you could be so mysterious my "crafty" friend. Hope I win...a lifetime of TJ for free? Sounds like Heaven to me!!! Hisses, Rockin Robin Caldwell
