Challenge 69 ~~ Multi Sponsors and NEW DT!!

WOW!! Can you believe it is August already??

As most of you have noticed there have been several changes in the last month. We have a owner, new look, facebook page, new sponsors with NEW digi releases, voting poll in the right corner (I will explain that in a bit). We also have a NEW DESIGN TEAM!!

To meet our new team, click on the "Meet Your Design Team" tab at the top of the page. I think you will be amazed by the talent and inspiration these women have to offer!!

Now, the voting poll. The 1st Monday of the month will still be ANYTHING GOES. Only now we will have you vote on a TWIST. You will vote on an added element that must be present on your entries...i.e. add a button, bling, flowers, ribbon, color, etc. We think this will be a fun TWIST and you will know ahead of time what the twist is :)

**There is no TWIST for August**

Also new this month, we will now have a Facebook Fan of the Month. Starting today and continuing from here on out, we will be posting a Facebook Only challenge on our Facebook Page on the 1st Monday. You will have 3 weeks to complete the challenge and link it up on our Facebook page. Because we do not have sponsors for our facebook challenges, I (Jenn) will provide the prize to the winner....$5 Gift Certificate to any of our digi sponsors for the month you win. I would love to offer more, but I have to feed the kids and hubby :)

So would you like to know who is sponsoring us this week and get on with the challenge?? LOL

This week we are proud to welcome...

WELCOME to our New DT

Hi everyone ;)

As you all know now, we lost one of our DT's last week.

We needed to replace her so I come today to present to you all our new AWESOME DT in the name of...

Jenniffer Jackson

My name is Jenniffer, but PLEASE just call me Jenn. I am married and the mother of 2 crazy kids...Jaiden (my daughter) is almost 12...going on 20. And Evan is 5 and as wild as boys come!! I grew up in a small town in Midwest Kansas and somehow made it to the big city of Saint Louis about 12 years ago. I miss the country sometimes, but would not leave the city for anything!!

I started paper crafting in 2005 with a stack of cardstock, a few patterned papers and a corner rounder. My stash and skill level have grown quite a bit since then.

I will also be in charge of doing the posts here, 

Come visit me on my blog

NEW DT added to our group

Good morning everyone!!

I am here this morning to present you a new member of our design team.

Mary Bollen

Here is a little bit of story of  Mary...

I'm Mary Bollen, live in the Netherlands and I'm married with the most lovely and kind man you ever see and I have the beautiful age of 56 and no I can turn the number backwards, pithy dough? Yes I know I can turn them, but then suddenly I'm 65, nooooooooo!! I feel a lot younger.

I'm mother of 2 adult sons and a grandma to a wonderful red headed granddaughter.

She has the beautiful name: Faith

We also have to cats called Rambo and Wizz, yes, one male and 1 female cat, 

they are gorgeous black and white cats. 

I'm working as a security officer at a center for foreign people who are waiting for immigration.

What about my crafting?

I'm busy with all kind of crafting since I was a little girl 

(yes once I was A child and little too, hehehe) on the age of 8.

My crafting is making scrapcards and coloring with copics, I'm also a certified copic designer, yeaahhhhhhhh.

I sell my cards and the money  I "earn" with that is for the children with cancer, we called that KIKA over-here.

Is there more to tell? Oh yes, but then the story is way too long to read, so I stop and I hope you know me a little bit after reading?

Hugs,

Mary from the Netherlands.
