They work with National Geographic to give talented artisans around the world a place to express their artistic talents and provide access to the world market.

Let me show you a few things they offer.

I love this Pearl Strand Necklace from Thailand!  It is such an interesting and warm piece, and best of all you can purchase it for $30.59!

Isn't this Alpaca scarf from the Andes beautiful, I could totally see myself going down the slopes in this one!  It retails at Notica for $67.95!

Seriously how cool is this Soda Pop-Top belt from Brazil!  I think it is pretty amazing, she crochets them all!  What a fun look, it runs $55.95 at Novica, but has a retail value of $109!

 They also have stuff for the guys!  I love this Elephant Walking stick from Bali and Java! It retails for 79.95!

My parents collect musical instruments, I think my Dad and Brother could make some sweet rhythm on this Drum from Africa! At Notica it costs $132, but retails for over $180!

So after looking and looking for hours at all the beautiful arts and craft on Notica, I settled on this beautiful Holy Family Nativity, I just love all the different woods!  It will be a great addition to my other Nativity sets!  It is from an Artisan in the Andes and retails for $64.95

Win 250 custom die cut business cards!

GIVEAWAY NOW OVER~9/16
Would you like my card?

Would you like to win 250 custom business cards of your own?

A couple weeks ago UPrinting, a printing business contacted me, and asked if I would like to do a giveaway.  I looked around their website for a little bit, and was instantly smitten.  They create everything from business cards to posters.  Their prices are reasonable, and my favorite feature is that you can use your own designs, or they have a lot of fun templates.  I enjoy making my own designs with Photoshop, so this was a big seller for me.

So here is what you can win...TWO HUNDRED & FIFTY custom business cards... but not just any business cards, the really fancy die cut variety! You could do so many things with all of those business cards, you could use them for a business, for your blog, you could use them as a label if you sell homemade items, etc...

Here are the specifics:

250 pcs Die Cut Business Card for one winner

1.75” x 3.5”, 2” x 3.5”, or 2” x 2”; 2.5”

Diameter (Circle) Rounded Corners, Leaf, Rounded Single-Corner,

Half-Circle Side, or Circle; 14pt Cardstock Gloss / Matte / High Gloss (UV), or

13pt Cardstock Uncoated,

6 Business Days Turnaround, *Free shipping

die-cut business card templates available for download

Restriction: Limited to *US residents 18 years old and above only.

ALSO:  If you are the winner and would like, I would be happy to help you make a custom design!  But that is completely optional, they have some great templates on their site.

I am so excited for this giveaway because as a hostess they are giving me the same prize... 250 Custom Business Cards.  I have NEVER had a card of my own, and am just thrilled.  I already created  a blog business card in photoshop, I love the circle shape!  I am excited to pass out my cards... maybe this will motivate me to attend a workshop, or start an etsy shop, who knows!

I also made a business card for my Big Sexy (hubby) and my father in law.  They have been expanding the farm business a bit, and wanted a business card. I just love the baby turkeys in the background, and I think his tractor IS sexy!  As you can tell, I took the real card and mocked it up.  This is a traditional business card, I did not receive any compensation for it, right now business cards are 15% off... SCORE!

HERE IS HOW TO WIN: Leave one comment for each entry.  Please make sure your email is on your profile, or include it with your comment.

1. Visit UPrinting, take a look around, tell me what you would use your business card for.
2. Follow Ladybird Ln via Google Friend Connect.
3. Like Ladybird on Facebook.
4. Follow UPrinting on Facebook or Twitter.  I would love it if you let them know I sent you.

So there you have it five ways to win.  Good Luck!
