Denise, of the Stamping Vacation blog, sent out a design team call and, despite my lack of crafting time, I sent my name in for consideration. I, along with 9 other papercrafters, make up her new team of challenge inspiration designers.
Here's how the blog works:
- Every day there is a new challenge! They rotate somewhat on a monthly basis, so if you have, or develop, a favorite, you can bet it'll come out about the same time each month. Sometimes, Denise retires some challenges and puts forth new ones. It really looks like a lot of work and I'm happy to be helping out!
- Once a month there is a drawing for a $25 gift certificate. The blog specifies where it is for each month. Every card you submit for every challenge you submit for gives you a chance to win! So the more cards you submit, the more chances! Denise is very flexible and doesn't mind if the card you enter was made prior to the challenge as long as it truly fits the challenge.
- Pick 3 Challenge - Choose 3 items from a list of supplies to make your creation.
- Sketch Therapy Challenge - Use the original sketch provided for your card.
- When I Grow Up Challenge - All about using careers for inspiration!
- Build-a-Sketch Challenge - Each month you add a new "piece" to the collection and then make a card based on the "pieces" Denise specifies! Like a puzzle!

congrats, Can't wait to see what you do :)
Hey Dana. Thanks for stopping by, guess I too better get busy visiting my teammates!
As for a sticky post, well, now that you have this posted onto your blog, go back in like you are going to "edit it" and somewhere near the bottom of the post it says "post options".....click on that & a drop down menu will appear. To the right side of the drop down menu is says "automatic" or "scheduled"......choose scheduled and put in the date that you want the post to come down on.
You can also pre-schedule posts this way by creating the post, but BEFORE you "publish it" you do the 'post options' thing, & select "schedule post" then again, put in the date and time you want the post to Pop up on your blog.
Hope this helps. !
