No players so far? Here are a few ideas

I'm wondering if you are so into Valentines at the moment that you can't stretch away from Pink and Red! LOL

Here are a few ideas on how to use this times recipe:

Home or Family theme : Birthday card for Grandma, Valentines for Hubby, New Home Card, Family recipe book, Scrapbook page

Punch something : Use a corner rounder, Use a border punch, Punch a circle and use as a tag, Punch a tag for the sentiment

Use a sticker : 3D Stickers like Jolees count, so do letter stickers like Thickers, also chipboard stickers, vellum/clear stickers, sentiment stickers too.

You can enter anything paper craft related so not only cards but scrapbook pages, home accents (try a banner like I did), mini albums, ATC, altered items, notebooks, recipes boxes etc etc.

I hope to see some of playing this time as we had 60 last time and it was so much fun to visit you all and say Hi!
Have a great weekend and I hope you have some crafting time ahead.
(maybe while hubby is watching the Superbowl if you're not a football fan)

I invite you to join me in this journey by trying out my FREE Stamp of the Month Artist’s Challenge. Visit my blog Designed to Delight to learn more about me, my digital and paper art, and how you can receive free digital stamps. My digi stamps are hand drawn and truly unique!"

Some more sponsor news

I'm super excited as I already have at least 5 challenges that will be sponsored!
So this is the perfect time to start playing and to spread the word.
I'll be making new logo's before Wednesday so wait for them and if you could add them to your blog sidebar that would be super (but obviously not required to play :))
Have a wonderful evening!

Some news on the years Challenges

Happy New Year!
I wanted to thank you all again for your support last year.
It was wonderful to see so many of you playing on my little challenge even though it was just for fun.
With 2010 there come a few changes.
Last year we did challenges on Thursdays but I've taken on a new DT position and left another and it now works so much better to have the challenges on Wednesdays.
I hope this works for you too.
Also starting with this challenge there will a prize each time!
I can't guarantee big boxes but you will love what I have lined up.
Some weeks the prizes will be supplied by me, other weeks we'll have a sponsor! If we are sponsored I'd love you to show your thanks and visit the sponsors site, you never know what wonderful things you may find there!
Also if you are interested in sponsoring a challenge just contact me and we'll work something out.
So the 1st challenge of 2010 will be this Wednesday, January 6th.
Have a great weekend and I hope to see you soon!
