• Ending time for this challenge is Wednesday, March 27, at 10 p.m. EST.
• Use the Inlinkz thumbnail format at the end of the March 21 post.
• The drawing is for a $25 Gift Certificate for use in our on-line store.

• The players are notified of the winner by email that night.
• The winner's name will be posted with the DT Thursday post on March 28.
• All entries are posted in the Customer Card Gallery under Card Galleries at the top of the page, with a link back to your blog/gallery post.

Have some fun, invite a friend to create too, have a stamping/die party and/or create your card using all IO dies/stamps, and then post it using the Inlinkz at the bottom of the 03/07/13 challenge post.  If you have questions please email me.

If you need inspiration you can check out the 2012/13 Card Galleries at the top of the blog.  Also, there are direct links to their DT posts and more card samples in our on-line store too!

Thanks for stopping by and joining in our fun!  See you back here tomorrow to announce the winner of our "All About the Dies Day 3".
