View Full Version : Post palooza blues!

Sooo...the Creative Team...and JAN...have done such a SPECTACULAR job on Ink-a-palooza that I thought we might all be in a "post-palooza blues" frame of mind. I sure will be. This week's been a BLAST!!

I'd like to offer up a post palooza challenge..with a BLING prize, which will include a WIDE assortment of bling embellishments as well as a grab bag of a DOZEN brand new unmounted rubber (not acrylic) stamps, and some FUN mystery card-creating-rubber-stamping-surprise additions.

The challenge?

Create a card, with a BLUE theme...colours, sentiments, embellies...anything at all...and post it in the gallery no later than Saturday May 9th. Must have at least one stamped image, but anything else goes.

Label your card "Post Palooza Challenge," upload it into the special events folder, and link it here in this thread, in order to be eligible for the drawing.

For a chance to have your name entered TWICE for the random drawing, indicate in your link here that you're mailing it off to JAN in sunny Alaska!

So who'll be playing??? :cute:

I'll get one done & send to her, Deborah so count me in. But please tell me how to post a link on this thread. I'm kind of a dummy on certain computer functions and obviously posting links is one.:wacko:

Michelle, when you put your card in the gallery, look up and copy the web address right at the top (highlight, right click and copy). Then come back to this thread topic, and post a reply. You can paste the web address right into your post (right click and paste)

Cool idea, I'll play:) Sort of inspired by the blue theme, so I ended up making a simple card right away. I'll mail it out some time this week. I had a lot of fun...Jan and the creative team did a fabulous job:D

Sure, it's a kalachucha (I misnamed it on the pic - always get it mixed up:v_SPIN:) by Vivid Jungle Designs. My friend has a shop for locally designed rubber stamps of which her brother drew the majority. Here's a link (http://www.vividjungledesignsguamdirect.com/guamstamps/flora.html) with the flower image. These were the stamps I made sure to bring with me when I moved:D

I have just approved your post so it show now. The reason it needs approval is that you are new and trying to post a link. Once you have posted on the message boards more it won't do that anymore.

Okay, even though I had to bribe them with chocolate, my grandsons printed everyone's name on slips of paper tonight (each person had two entries, because y'all promised to send your cards along to Jan!), and the bling win goes to KELTIE (aka Heather Slack), our prolific card creating friend from the thriving metropolis of Wallace, Nova Scotia...where I hear that card bling might sometimes be rather difficult to find.:laugh:

I'm in Quebec right now, heading home Tuesday, and will get your goodies in the post the following day.

Thanks so much for participating everyone, and one final THANK YOU to Jan and the creative team for putting this all together for us.

It was SUCH FUN!! :cute:

WOW! Thank you Deborah for posting the "Blues contest". YOu're right it is impossible to find Bling around here and difficult to bring much home when you are on a bike. Again thank you for my prize.Also another congrats to your sister .What a spirit she must have , but having taught High school I am sure she could take on anything.
