October Advertising

Fall is here! As my favourite time of year, I couldn't be happier. I've been drinking tea daily, wearing my hats, scarves and knee-highs and breathing deeply of the cool, crisp air.

Along with fall, it's time to think about October advertising! I have tons of good stuff planned, including another round of ACEO-X, my ACEO exchange. You can also count on lots of recommended reading, delicious fall / Thanksgiving recipes, sketchbook pages and fall decor. It should be a great month and I hope you'll join me in celebrating this wonderful season!

If you're interested, you can find all the details HERE or by clicking on the "Advertise" tab at the top of the page. 

What to do: 

First you'll need an ad - make it jpg or png, 200px (width) by 150px (height). If you don't have one already, I can make it for you. Send your ad and the link to the site you're advertising to ulixis.crafts@gmail.com. Please include "Advertisement Opportunity" as the subject line. If you have any questions, I'd love to hear from you!

July Ad Opportunity

How is it even possible that June is almost over? That we're half way through the year?!?? Tomorrow is the first day of summer. July is dashing in, bringing with it relentless heat and the lazy days of summer.

And that means it's time to think about July advertising! I have tons of good stuff planned, including summer recipes, recommended reading, sketchbook pages and tutorials. I'll also be heading North near the middle of the month, so you can count on tons of inspiring nature photographs!

June Sponsorship

June advertising on Ulixis Crafts is now open - head on over here for more details!

June is planning out to be fun-filled and sun-soaked! Are you as excited as I am? On the blog, you can expect oodles of outdoor photos from when I go hiking, a couple recipes incorporating fresh summer produce, many peeks into my sketchbooks (including the start of my Sketchbook Project 2013 and a collaborative Sketchbook Project with my friend Angie), some summer reading and possibly a tutorial and a summer outfit or two thrown in the mix!

Want to be a part of it all? Send me a note via ulixis.crafts@gmail.com and we can chat about the details!  

April Ad Opportunity

April is coming up fast & bringing spring, green grass, flowers & Easter along with it! March flew by & was filled with many fun projects, including the Map Project & my 31 Skirts challenge. These will be wrapped up in April, along with ACEO-X (4.0). You can also look forward to more recipes, book recommendations & collections in April & maybe a few fun little projects & tutorials here & there.

As you can see, April is going to be a busy & fun-filled month! That makes it a perfect time to advertise right here. There are only three advertisement spots on my sidebar - very exclusive. They aren't teeny tiny either, so you're sure to get noticed.

Have I mentioned the best part? Ad spaces are FREE! They won't be free forever though & first come, first serve, so don't delay!

You can find all the details here or by clicking on the "Advertisement Opportunities" tab at the top of the page.

What to do:

First you'll need an ad - make it jpg or png, 200px (width) by 150px (height). If you don't have one already, I can make it for you. Send your ad (or ad criteria) & the link to the site you're advertising to ulixis.crafts@gmail.com. Please include "Advertisement Opportunity" as the subject line. If you have any questions, I'd love to hear from you!

Meet My Sponsors

I have three lovely sponsors for March, though you may recognize a couple from February (which is awesome! I love returning readers!). Let's get right to it, shall we?

First up is my newest sponsor, Kat from H20worksDesigns. Head on over to her shop for some amazing digital collage material. You'll also find various printable items like tags, backgrounds & ACEOs.

Next up is Deana from BellaCosaArt. As you probably know, she's one of my favourite artists & a good friend. I love the bright colours & flowing brush strokes in her work.

Last but not least is Charlie from Clay Space. This fun blog is particularly inspiring for jewelry artists. The best part (for me) is that Charlie is an engineer, crafter and mom - talk about multi-tasking!

What are you waiting for? Go check out my sponsors!

Interested in sponsoring my blog next month? You'll find more information here.

March Ad Opportunity

Can you believe March is almost upon us? I think the month is catching me unaware because winter really hasn't made itself known here. We've had unseasonably mild weather & very little snow... not that I'm complaining! It's been quite nice actually.

I'm predicting great things for March: I have one or two healthy recipes to share & another couple books to recommend. I also have 2 mini projects planned for March: one involves drawing, the other involves clothes. I'm also hoping to run ACEO-X, an art card exchange, near the end of the month.

Meet My Sponsors

Have you seen the lovely ads on my sidebar? I have 2 sponsors for February & I really think you should check them out! Today seemed to be a good day for an introduction.

---

My first sponsor is Charlie from the blog Clay Space.

I must admit, this blog is a new one for me but am I ever glad I've discovered it! First, the blog layout & design is simple - stark white with dotted borders - which makes it easy & fun to read. You'll find lots of neat posts here too: some freebies & giveaways, hints for setting up your own home jewelry show, crafts & lots more. You really should go check it out HERE!

I know I've mentioned my second sponsor, Deana from Bella Cosa Art, before - she's one of my favourite artists & one that I'm lucky enough to call a friend. Her work is bright & cheerful, with lots of juicy colours, yummy texture & flowing brush strokes. I think this fabulous piece is a good representation of her work - but make sure to check out her animals, flowers & abstract landscapes too!

You can find her Etsy shop HERE.

Searching for Blog Sponsors: February

So... after much debate, I've finally decided to go ahead & offer advertisements spots on my blog. For now, I'm keeping things very exclusive - there will only be three spots, situated right between the "creative director" & "follow me" widgets on my sidebar.

Since February will be my first month of advertisement, I'm offering the space at a very discounted price - FREE! You can't get any cheaper than that!

Act now - March will only be free for returning advertisers!

My page views aren't through-the-roof, but I have been working on them steadily (& plan on continuing to do so), building them up to be around 150 per day, with well over 1000 unique visitors per month. That means you're exposing at least 1000 new people to your blog or shop when you advertise on my blog for just 1 month!

What you get:

1. Prime real estate on my blog sidebar.
2. Two "check out my sponsors" blog posts a month: one will be a collective post for all 3 ads, the second will be a post highlighting each shop/blog individually. These promo posts will be once a week.

What I need from you:

1. An ad. Make it a jpg or png file, 200px (width) by 150px (height). If you don't have one made up already, I can make one for you - just let me know what you want it to look like (a photo/image to use is helpful).
2. The link you want your ad to refer back to.
3. Some recognition: since you're advertising here, I'd like for your viewers / readers to visit this blog as well. A simple blog post or announcement (via Facebook or Twitter, for example) is sufficient.

What to do:

Send your ad (or ad criteria) & link to ulixis.crafts@gmail.com. Please send only 1 email with "February advertisement" as the subject line. Due to time constraints, I will only be replying to the 3 submissions that will be posted on my blog.

As examples, I have posted 3 ads to my own shops in my blog sidebar (right above "follow me"). These will be replaced with your ads in February.
