SDC August 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 September from all those who played in the August challenges.

If you do not have a blog to link up to, please feel free to join our Stampotique page on Facebook here.  We have a photo album on there called SDC Challenge Photos that you can upload your photo there.  Once you have uploaded it there, go to your photo in that album and copy the URL to link on the Stampotique Designer's Challenge links.  You will not be eligible if you do not link up to our challenge site.

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 August and it will run through the close of our last challenge for August which will be September 1, 2015 at 12:00 p.m. EST**

SDC August Guest Designer

We are welcoming back a designer favorite this month, the lovely and one of the original design team members, Vicki Garrett.

I am very honoured to be joining Stampotique as a Guest Designer this month.

Having been a part of the Original Stampotique Design Team, it's very exciting to be sharing my creations with you.

I have been involved in the paper crafting industry for well over a decade and enjoyed the opportunity to serve on many different design teams. I cherish the friendships and acquaintances that I would not have been privilege to, if not for this wonderful hobby.

Make sure to stop on over and visit Vicki at her blog-she'll be joining us for our first challenge of the month on Wednesday.
