SDC130: Something New

Our hostess this week is Kaz and here is what she is challenging you with the following:

I am just a little bit nosey, so for this challenge I'd like you to use something that Santa brought you! Don't worry if you didn't get crafty stash, just use something that you recently bought for yourself. If you really want to, you could make something with the theme of something new as well. Just make sure you enjoy making it.

Just a reminder to read the instructions for linking below.

SDC129: Happy New Year! Anything Goes

Happy New Year!  We are kicking off the new year with our first guest designer of 2014 as well as our first challenge.

 First up our Guest Designer...Introducing Pauline Adamson:

Happy New Year.  My name is Pauline and I live in Carnoustie, Scotland. My main passion is paper crafts and making photograph albums.  I absolutely love getting lost in the creativity of crafting and I love to share my ideas and hopefully inspire you as I have been by some very talented and inspirational crafters from around the world.  I am a very late discoverer of paper crafts only starting on this amazing journey in June 2012 so I still have so much to learn.  I hope you enjoy my projects as much as I adore all of yours.

Keep your eye out as this month as we show off Pauline's creations.

As for our first challenge, Kim is keeping the theme alive with Anything Goes.  It's always nice to be able to create whatever you wish to with my Stampotique stamps and so we want to see you get creative with whatever you wish to.

Wishing you all a safe and happy new year!  Just a reminder to read the instructions for linking below.

SDC January 2014 Challenge Links

PLEASE READ ALL RULES BEFORE LINKING

Please remember you can use any stamps now for our challenge, but only one entry per person.  We will draw 2 random winners on the first week of our challenge in February from all those who played in the January challenges.

We are no longer accepting creations using digi stamps.  These will be deleted, we appreciate those that play with us each week and we welcome those using rubber or clear stamps.

Please link DIRECTLY to your creation, not to your blog.  You MUST  include the challenge # (which can be found at the Stampotique Designer's Challenge blog) behind your name (any not linking directly to your creation AND having the challenge # will be deleted and not eligible for prize).   For example if I'm entering it would look like this- MYNAME-SDC73 (or whichever challenge # it is) . 

We ask that if you have comment verification turned on, that you would consider turning this on and doing comment moderation instead.  

Please use Inlinkz below to link up your challenge.  

**Change to Stampotique submission rules:  You will now have until the first challenge of the following month to submit your entries-we will only have one Inlinkz per month; so today marks the start of the challenges for January and it will run through the close of our last challenge for January which will be February 4, 2014 at noon ET**

Join us this month-easy Anything Goes challenge.

SDC128: Anything Goes

Can you believe it's December already?  Only 21 days until Christmas, so if you haven't done your shopping for some new Stampotique stamps, you might want to hope over and order them now.

We will only be hosting one challenge this month, giving the team a chance to enjoy the holidays with their family and friends.  And I'm giving you a super easy challenge this month-Anything Goes.  No themes, no problem.  I love these type of challenges as it gives me a chance to just have fun creating whatever I want to.

Can't wait to see what you create this month, we'll be sharing a few more creations from the team over the next few weeks here, but will run the same challenge all month long.

We want to take this opportunity to thank you for support of Stampotique and of our design team.  We can not thank you all enough for all your comments, support, sharing of your wonderful creations.

We also want to thank our outgoing design team members, wishing them the best of luck, but know we'll continue to see them around.

**Please read new rule instituted with this challenge-we will no longer be accepting digi stamp creations as part of our challenges.  Stampotique is a red rubber stamp company and we prefer to see creations with stamps versus those with digital creations.  These entries will be deleted and will not be eligible for the prize.  Thank you for understanding.**
