Malouf Fine Linens Giveaway - CLOSED

 

We are happy to announce an awesome giveaway - Egyptian cotton sheets manufactured by Malouf Fine Linens.



I received a set of luxurious Egyptian cotton sheets to try and boy are they silky soft!  I really like the fact the sheets have deep pockets for my pillow top mattress. Even after numerous washings they still fit and no shrinkage! Their sheets are woven from 100% combed Egyptian cotton - the finest cotton in the world. Malouf also manufacturers mattress protectors, memory foam pillows and bed frames. I've had a mattress protector for years (not Malouf) and I would highly recommend a good mattress protector. They help eliminate dust mites, mattress stains, allergy causing bacteria, etc.



Malouf Fine Linens would like to give one Design Dazzle reader a set of 600 thread-count of the Egyptian cotton sheets. The set includes a fitted sheet, top sheet and two pillow cases ( $199. value) Wow!

Giveaway: Photo Fun Workshop, Photoshop Actions & Picture Keeper! CLOSED

 If you need a little help taking great pictures, need Photoshop Actions and would love photo back up storage, this is the giveaway for you!!!!  We have three wonderful companies offering one lucky winner a gift certificate from each company. One lucky Design Dazzle reader will win an online 45 minute photography lesson or Photoshop lesson from Photo By Emilie ($70 value),  Paint The Moon $50 gift certificate to purchase Actions or Textures and a Picture Keeper PK4!  First up is Photo By Emilie - loving this picture she took of her precious baby in the basket.

Aren't these the cutest pictures?? Emilie is the owner and photographer behind Photos by Emilie. She is not only an amazing photographer but she also teaches classes in Salt Lake City and also ONLINE. I took an online class with Emilie and she explained the basics of photography to me and went into detail on the how and why to get your pictures to look great. She will teach you how to set your camera setting in manual - the difference between "point and hope" and  "point & create".  I wish I had taken a class years ago - it was fun to learn with an expert. Look at some examples...

Shot at 9f

Emilie can start at the very basics or go into more advanced photography subjects. I learned all about aperture, shutter speed and ISO and how to take a good picture without a flash...amazing!! If you would rather have a lesson in Photoshop, you can choose that instead! Check out her blog for the next Salt Lake Workshop scheduled for Saturday, Sept 24th. Use discount code "Penelope" for 25% off!

After you take your pictures - how about using Photoshop Actions to make your photos say WOW! Paint The Moon offers Photoshop and Elements actions to help bring new life to your images and take hours off of your editing time. I was AMAZED at how my pictures looked before and after using Paint the Moon actions. They also offer video tutorials to help guide you through the editing process (new ones are being added weekly) and beautiful free actions and textures to try before you buy.

Adding texture to your images is such a cool technique! Paint the Moon fine art and vintage textures add a unique and high end look to your images. Choose one of their actions or textures set with the $50 gift certificate for the winner!

An easy way to back up your pictures! Picture Keeper is an automatic picture backup device. It can be used on multiple computers and will work on both Mac and PC. Plug the USB device into your computer and it automatically finds the images on your computer and saves them for you.  When you use it again to back up photos it only saves the new images from your computer.  This device is perfect to help prevent loss of photos from computer failure, computer theft, fire, etc... Backup your pictures and place the Picture Keeper in a safe place.

• No wires to connect!


• Holds thousands of pictures!


• No software to install!!  

Picture Keeper ranges from $29.99 to $99.99 depending how many pictures you need to store. If you would like to save 10% and receive free shipping for a Picture Keeper,  use discount code designdazzle10 at checkout here.
