Challenge No. 2 ~ Strip it Down!!

Welcome back, we're so glad you could join us. WOW!!! You have blown the top off our Pink & Dots challenge! What an amazing turnout. Thank you all for sharing your wonderful works of
he{art} with us!

We have a new challenge for you this week, brought to us by the lovely Annika Ryan from the 7 Kids College Fund Design Team.

STRIP IT DOWN!!

Noooooo, not what you're thinking. . . We'd like you to use NO MORE than TWO layers of design paper on your card! Easy, right? And look at the fabulous prize up for grabs this week!!!

A Scor-It-All Board! All the details on this awesome product can be found HERE.

Just a couple reminders for you:

• You MUST use a stamped image carried by 7 Kids College Fund on your card or project in order to be eligible for the prize drawing; and
• Since the Design Team loves to visit your blog and tell you how much we LOVE your creations, we'd be so much happier if you could PLEASE disable the Comment Verification feature on your blog. Instructions are included on the sidebar. (There's nothing worse than crabby DT members!!)

And now, we have the privilege of announcing all the winners from our first challenge. It was a VERY difficult task to choose only THREE for our top choices from so many wonderful submissions! We finally narrowed it down ~ Here are their gorgeous entries:   

No. 65 ~ Silvie Z. 

No. 61 ~ April Rose

No. 97 ~ Clara

Beautiful work ladies!  Congrats  ~ Please grab the TOP 3 blinkie and proudly display it on your blog!





We were also super excited to choose our very first Guest Designer from these three! But, talk about ANOTHER tough choice! We're happy to announce that

Silvie Z.

has been chosen to be our Guest Designer for our next challenge, and can proudly display this awesome button, designed by the mega-talented Ann Vento, on her blog.

And, FINALLY!!! DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!
