Challenge: Pin It to Win It

February 29, 2012

Greeting Card Universe has added a “PIN” button to all pages to make it easier for everyone to “pin” cards to Pinterest. What’s Pinterest? some of you ask. Here’s the scoop from their website:

“Pinterest is a virtual pinboard. Pinterest allows you to organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. You can browse pinboards created by other people to discover new things and get inspiration from people who share your interests.”

The really cool thing about Pinterest is that you can create your own themed boards (I have one called “Cards I ❤ So Much” among others). You can re-pin what other people have pinned, too, and get followers (as well as follow others). It’s addictive. I pin many things including my Squidoo lenses, greeting cards, products, photographs, graphics, etc.

Joining Pinterest is invitation-only. If you want an invitation, leave a comment on this post or you can make an application via Pinterest and wait for approval.

If you’re already pinning, let us know so we can “follow” you.

To make this fun, let’s have a little challenge, shall we?

YOUR CHALLENGE

St. Patrick’s Day is coming up, so over the next week, I want you to create a new board – Favorite St. Patrick’s Day cards – and pin FIVE cards from GCU in a St. Paddy’s Day theme. You have until March 7th to leave a link to the board in the comments of this post. On March 8th, I’ll do a random drawing of all participants for a $10 Amazon.com gift certificate OR 5 free card credits to the lucky winner. Let’s have some fun!
