SDC January 2015 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 January 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 2, 2015 at 11:55 p.m. EST**

January 2015- Guest Designer

After taking a break off from having a guest designer in December we are thrilled to announce our first guest designer of 2015.  Esther has been a frequent participant in our challenges here and so we are looking forward to seeing more of her creations featured here this month.

Here's some more about Esther:


Hello,

My name is EstherGlas and I live in The Netherlands.

From when I was a little girls I was always “making” something. So when I got older I was always doing something like needlework, knitting and making cards. So I have been crafting all of my life, in one form or another.

After that scrapbooking became one of my favorite things to do. In that time I was also working as a Nail technician and that was when I got in touch with paints, gels, mediums etc for making Nail Art. I became a Nail Art trainer and gave quite a lot of workshops in other European countries. My work has been on the cover and in articles in quite some Nail Magazines during that time.

From doing nail art it’s only a small step to Mixed Media and Art Journaling and that’s what I do most now. I love playing with paints, mediums, paper etc etc. Actually I like doing a lot of things as long as it’s crafty.

I am also a member of De Craftorij Design Team in Holland.

Stop over and visit Esther at her blog.
