Inkspirations Challenges!!!
hey challenge hungry peoples!
We have fun and exciting announcements today about the Inkspirations Challenges. I have had you all hanging since last week, but today is the day peeps…… changes are happening.
Okay so I am just going to give you the changes in bullet point……
- Inspiration challenges are now gone……yes it seemed the people were finding these a bit hard and were not too inspired to play along. So we thought we would drop them and stick with what we all do best, the Sketch and Colour challenges.
- The challenge numbers will be going up numerically so it is far less confusing for everyone
- We will now be using inlinkz rather than Mr Linky, as it is more reliable, and you also get to see the front image of each persons creation. Also that way since you can view them that way, I won’t be doing the slide show each week….one less job to stress about on Fridays
- Now this is the fun part. Each week when a Inkspiration winner is picked, by myself or one of the DT the winner will have the opportunity (if they wish) to be the following weeks Guest Designer. So if you win and want to play along you will be given the sketch or colours ahead of time and then have your sample, posted below mine when we do the new challenge announcement post the following week. That way you all get to be stars and get rewarded for playing and winning. I love this idea, and am really looking forward to seeing lots of people being creative stars amongst the Inkspirations DT each week!
- The last challenge for each month is going to be hosted by one of the DT girls over on their blogs. So you can pop on over there, and link your creation, but that is not all!!! Each time one of the DT girls hosts a challenge, they are going to mix it up a little by adding their own challenge ‘EXTRA”! . So you may have to work with buttons, tearing, vintage…..who knows, only the hosting DT knows, and will announce the winner on their blog the following week… and wait there is more. If you win this DT challenge you get to receive that DT persons card design sent to you right to your mail box. Now who doesn’t like to receive happy mail ey?
- Another new change is that I hope to post a video each week with some tip, or stamping technique, etc… with my challenge sample each week. I am hoping this won’t be too hard to do, so am giving it a go. Should be lots of fun, and great for the visual learner too!
Here is the inspiration from the Design Team! Be sure to give them some comment LOVE too!
Want to play along? - here are some guidelines.
If you would like to play along, all you need to do is follow the directions:
1. Make your creation following the challenge ie, sketch, colour, or inspiration image.
2. Load your creation up onto your blog or a public viewing forum like Splitcoast Stampers, with a direct link back to the post on this website, so that others viewing the post will know where the challenge has come from, and it is courtesy to do so.
3. Then come back to this post so that you can add your name and link in the InLinkz below.
You have until the Thursday the 1st June midnight to get your entries linked.
I will be announcing the winner and honourable mention on Friday the 2nd June in the afternoon.
I hope you get to play along and i look forward to seeing your creations!
ETA: If you have come to link up your creation and notice the InLinkz has shut down, please just add your link in the comments section and I can check it out from there. Sorry everyone, I am not too sure why it shut down on the 1st rather than the 3rd! Thanks!
