Well, there's still a foot of snow on the ground around here, but I have spring fever . . . . . honestly, can't wait for some green grass and warm sunshine. But seeing how that's in short supply around here, I've had to make my own, haha! There's lots of spring goodness in this blog post, so read carefully!

For starters, I've heard your pleas and created a set of sunflare actions for Photoshop, the Sunshine Action set. This fabulous little set is similar to my Sunflare Presets for Lightroom 2 (though not identical), but instead works in Photoshop CS-CS4. This wonderful set will add a burst of sun instantly to any photo.

A before and after . . . .





To see more details about this new set and view more before and after images, please visit http://shop.nicholeV.com. And of course, I can't launch a new action set without a coupon code, so enter this coupon code to receive 10% off your entire purchase of Flourish Emporium products!

flourish041610

Also, due to high demand, I've added a few more workshops for 2010. I have opened up another Professional Workshop on August 5-7 in Salt Lake City and new Lighting Workshops on July 16-17 and September 17-18. And best of all, I am now offering my Lighting Workshops to everyone, even those who have never attended one of my workshops in the past. But hurry! I expect that the Lighting Workshops will fill quickly as they are limited to only 12 people.  Visit http://workshops.nicholeV.com to see all the details. And how's about a coupon code?! Enter this code at checkout to receive $50 off your purchase of the Workshop in a Box:

box041610

All coupon codes will expire on Friday, April 16, 2010.

And what's even better than owning the Workshop in a Box? Winning one for free, of course! The workshop in a box has been such a huge success that we're going to give one away for free. Yes, we're giving away a $549 {life as art} Workshop in a Box to one lucky person.

So how do you enter to win?
  • You can leave a reply in the comments to this blog post to receive one entry into the contest.
  • Receive 5 entries into the contest by bragging about any nicholeV site and linking to me on your blog or your Facebook page or Twitter (you get the idea) and then link me to your link in a comment to this blog post, and/or
  • Receive 10 entries into the contest by posting a before and after image using nicholeV products and again, link me to your images by commenting on this blog post. 
Yeah, that's a total of 16 entries that you could get into this contest! Note that the links you post back must date after this blog post (sorry, no digging up old links, though I love you for having linked me in the past, haha). And if you have already purchased the workshop in a box and you win, I will refund your purchase. So don't wait to buy, hoping that you'll win! This contest will close on Saturday, April 10th at midnight MST.

Yay! Don't hesitate to email me if you have any questions!

Ok, Hopefully I am doing this right because I sooooo want to win the workshop in a box. I've faithfully followed your blog for the last year and a half ever since I discovered it by accident! What a great accident. I puchased your photo fix and chic texture set and love them! So, hopefully this is one entry. My FB post about NicoleV can be found at http://www.facebook.com/album.php?id=1599363103&aid=2009756#!/pages/Flourish-Emporium-Resources-for-Professional-Photographers/453700115120?ref=nf

and a before and after on my blog at http://magicmomentsphotography-in.blogspot.com/2010/04/nicole-v-utah-photographer-and-genius.html

Hopefully that puts me up to the full total! Thanks for the great giveaway opportunity and for your amazing pictures.
