Our "Oldies But Goodies" Challenge And Happy Birthday To Someone Special Too!

Mitra, the Design Team, and I would like to wish our Design Team Coordinator, Kelli Richardson, a "VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY" each and every day of the year to come.  We thank you for all you do for us and for your patience with us too! We wish you a wonderful 39th birthday today!!

Next we have our wonderful "Oldies But Goodies Challenge".  Our DT members are ready for you to stop by and check out their great cards.  Some have asked, "What is old?"  I say if it isn't in the new Spring 2012 catalog it should qualify.  :-)  If you have any questions please don't hesitate to EMAIL ME.  So let's get to it and check out their blogs below, before you add your card at the end of the post:

• Daniela Dobson
• Dina Kowal
• Jeanne Streiff
  
• Jenny Gropp
• Julie Koerber
• Laura Fulcher

Would you like to participate in the challenge for a chance to win a $25 Gift Certificate?  The Challenge Guidelines widget is posted in the first sidebar to your right.

• Use the Inlinkz thumbnail format at the bottom of this post. 
• Ending time for this challenge will be next Wednesday, January 25, at 10 p.m. EST.
• The winner is picked using Random.org.
• The players are notified by email of the winner that night. 
• The winner's name will be posted with the DT Thursday post on January 26.

Thanks in advance for playing and joining in the fun everyone!

As I mentioned last time, this is our last challenge listed in the sidebar to your right.  There are some NEW PLANS for the blog, challenges, a NEW ONLINE STORE FRONT, etc., our new 2012 Spring Stamps, and more to be released soon.  In addition, we have CHA week after next!!! 

A reminder, beginning the week of CHA, January 30 and through February 3, our DT members Blog Hop. showing off all of the NEW SPRING STAMPS.  There will be a $25 Gift Certificate Drawing every day and an additional $25 Gift certificate awarded on Friday.  To be eligible to win you should:

• Comment on every DT member's blog each day plus the IO blog for daily drawing.
• For Friday's drawing you must have completed comments for Monday through Friday.
• This means someone on Friday has a chance for $50 worth of free stamps (sigh)!
  

Because of our blog hop scheduled CHA week we won't have a challenge that week.  Our next challenge will be "Hey! Hi! Hello There!" on February 16.  We are really excited about the coming changes and hope you will STAY TUNED to our blog for news about all of them. :-)  

Hope you week has been great so far!! Can't wait to see your creativity with this challenge, and thanks for stopping by to join in the fun and say hi!

Wow! Beautiful cards - all so amazing. I was happy to use a stamp which had been neglected (never used). Thanks for sponsoring a fun challenge!

How fun! I love to hop. Unfortunately I do not have any IO stamps, so I will have to watch from the sidelines for the challenge.
