Our Challenge Winner, DT Thursday, And Our New Challenges

What a really great challenge we had!  Our challenge winner, selected by Random.org for our "Hey There, Hi, Hello Challenge", is Doris at The Stamping Tower.  Congratulations, Doris, and happy shopping!  If the rest of you missed all of the DT members beautiful designs and the other entries for the challenge, please check them out Here.

If any of you missed all of the DT members beautiful designs for the hop, you can check them out by either clicking on the NEW 2012 STAMPS album in the right hand sidebar, or you can see them by clicking on the Design Team member's album down below that area.  Either way when you click on the card you will be able to see:

• A direct link to the post on the Design Team member's blog, with more details on how she made the card.  It will pop up in a new tab.
• If you click on the links for the stamps used on the card, you will be connected directly to that stamp in our online store.

This DT Thursday is brought to you by DT member, Laura Fulcher!!  Her blog is awesome.  She is also responsible for the wonderful video in the right hand sidebar demonstrating the Mega Mount^TM.  This week she used some more of our NEW SPRING images, of course!!  I have really fallen in love with the images by Hannah Davies.  So with a glance at her 'sneak peek' let's get on over to her blog, HERE.  While you are there, let her know what you think.  Looks like a lot of totally cute fun from here!

If you haven't already noticed, our NEW CHALLENGES are listed in the sidebar to your right. Notice we are having MONTHLY NEW STAMP releases in March, April, and May.  They are awesome, cute, pretty, and fun too.  You won't want to miss out.  The Design Team will design cards with the stamps released that month.  You will still be able to join in the challenges by building your card around the theme.

Next Thursday, March 1, will be our  "True Blue Challenge".   It will continue until the following Wednesday evening, March 7, at 10 p.m.  Participating gives you a chance to win a $25 gift certificate.  So get busy out there and create your card for our "True Blue Challenge" using ALL IO stamps and enter it using the Inlinkz at the bottom of the March 1 post.  If you have questions please email me.  My email is right under my name in the next column over.

Get busy out there and join us for our next challenge and invite a friend to enjoy it with you!!!  Thanks for stopping by to look and share!
