Surprise, Surprise, Challenge #2 Give A Way

There is nothing I like more than SURPRISING our challenge participants. We will normally only have 1 give a way a month. It will be given at the end of the month. We were not going to give our first one until the end of March.

However we thought it would be fun to SURPRISE you and give one away at the end of this week. Stamp and Create has teamed with us to sponsor our blog. Stamp and Create offers amazing products and their customer service is out of this world. They will be offering one lucky winner at $15 gift certificate to their awesome, amazing store.

So what do you need to do to be eligible to win???? It's simple, create a card using the sketch below and upload it to Mr Linky by Saturday, February 27th. As a special THANK YOU to those that participate in our first challenge last week, your names will be entered into the drawing. However if you played last week and you play again this week, your name will go into the hate 2 times.
So, on to our sketch, here it is, fun and simple!! If you can not read the fine print, you are to use a minimum of 2 eyelets or brads somewhere on your creation. This can be a card or a scrapbook page.



Now on to our wonderful Design Teams creations.

Our First Challenge and Grand Opening

Hello and welcome to our first Critter Sketch Challenge. I'm sure everyone is excited to see who won the wonderful burst of ribbon that I was offering last week.

So with no further ado, the winner is:
Karen Hasheck at http://karenskreativekards.blogspot.com/
Karen please contact me so I can get you your package (newbymom@embarqmail.com)

So I'm sure everyone is ready to get on with the show!!!!

For our first challenge we are giving you a sketch layout. You can use this for a card or scrapbook page. If it's hard to read, in the lower left corner you are to include a sentiment or flower. You are also to use the color red anywhere on your card. I know we are all about tired of doing v-day cards so this can be any theme you wish.

When completed upload your card to Mr. Linky. This week will not be a prize week but if you enter your name will go into our drawing next month. This must be a newly created card and can not be linked from a past creation. (read details on the left sidebar)

OH YEA!!!!!!! Did I forget to mention, if your the first one to participate in this challenge and post your card using our Mr. Linky you'll receive a FREE ribbon pack??? Can you tell I love to use ribbon and LOVE to give it away!!

Now on to our wonderful design teams creations. They so rock!!!
