Creative Crops Challenge: Jan.22-Feb.5

[Kerr]

If you need more info about the Creative Crops Challenge Look Here (http://digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27381)

NOTE:There has been a change in my challenges. You no longer have to post a link in my thread. I know that you ladies do double duty and often are pretty busy just like myself so just be sure that you post your layout in the creative crops gallery within the dates listed ending at 12 midnight EST and you will get your posting bonus. I hope this makes it easier for some of you who may forget to post a link in the thread or dont have time but have put your layout in the creative crops gallery.

The Challenge:OK ladies here is the challenge should you choose to accept it! Do you have a buddy on DSP (or elsewhere) that has never done one of my challenges? Well this is a "Bring a friend" challenge! If you get one of your buddies to do my challenge that has never participated before you will get the posting bonus and an extra bonus as well! Your friend must purchase the kit and post a layout in the Creative Crops gallery within the dates to be eligible. Your buddy will also recieve the posting bonus and the extra bonus! How cool will that be...get your friend in on the action and you will both get a double reward! Go chat up your friends ladies and lets fill up the gallery with some awesome layouts!

For this challenge will you please write "My buddy is _________" in the description somewhere when uploading your photo to the gallery. This way I can be sure I have everyones layout and buddies accounted for so everyone gets their correct bonus.

Ok now the challenge kit is:
Midnight Velvet you can get it here (http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=7416)

[Kerr]

Please remember: You dont have to bring a friend! Just if you do...thats when you get the extra bonus! So please dont feel like you cant join in because you dont feel like doing the extra part. As always, even if you dont take the challenge but buy the kit and post a layout you will still get the posting bonus! So its a win win and win...situation!

[ChristineG]

Great kit and posting bonuses. Wahoo!

[Victoria]

I already have the kit, so now to find a buddy who hasn't done your challenges before is the tough part. I wil definetly do the challenge. The posting bonuses look awesome.

[sammdc]

heheh gundi you want to be my bring a friend heehheehehhe

[sandygb]

Darn.....I wish I would have known this would be the challenge kit. It was the only one I didn't get on the birthday sale. Phooey.....

[Leslie]

Yes. I bought the beautiful mauve one with the dragonfly at the sale, and have posted it twice so far. But this was on my wish list and I love the bonus kit. Now, h'mm, which picture to do justice to this gorgeous kit. Venice comes to my mind... or my cat Tigger - I can't decide which is more beautiful. :)

... Wel, not Tigger as she walked over my newly painted floor.

So my entry in the Creative Crops Challenge turned into an offical first birthday portrait of Pyewacket for her upcoming birthday. It is posted in my album called: Leslie's cats. You can see it here:

[karinadawn]

I love this kit, but I've already done one of the challenges which was only last week.....darn. If any one cares to buddy up, let me know.

Karina

[Victoria]

Samm, gundi can't be your"bring a buddy" because she has been doing Kerr's challenges. We have to find someone who hasn't done Kerr's challenges in the past. This is going to be tough.

[Leea]

Hmmm....I bought the kit last week, but the eligible dates are for the postings, not when the kit was bought, right? I've never posted to a Creative Crops Challenge and I'm plannig on posting for the bonus, does anyone want me for Bring A Friend so we can both get the Midnight Flourish Alpha?
Leea

[Victoria]

Leea, I would love to be your "buddy/friend" for this challenge. I've sent you a pm.

[Leea]

Okay, I'll send you a pm also :) Thanks for being my buddy/friend for this challenge. I'll try to work on it and get it posted in the next day or so.

[Leea]

WOW! When I bought this kit, there were certain things that I really liked... the floral frame in particular....as I started making my layout, I was amazed by how beautiful the parts of the kit are!!! I love the beads, the shadow they make on the photo is wonderful, and they look so real...the beads in the swirls are fantastic too. The paper is beautiful. I want to use this kit several times in scrapbooking. Thank you Kerri for a wonderful kit and challenge. Thank you Victoria for being my challenge friend.
Here's the link to A Quiet Peace:

The layout was so much fun, and I felt so relaxed after finishing it...I think that the layout will become a screensaver for my computer monitor :)

Here is my LO for this challenge. So far I have been unable to get a friend. I am new, so it is a more difficult challenge for me. Hopefully if anyone still wants to buddy up I am available.

Karina

[Leslie]

Hey karinadawn, we Australians need to buddy up together I think - I am new too!

Hey Kerr, would it be all right if my new friend karinadawn and I are buddies now?

[Tallie]

Here's my layout for the "bring a friend challenge", using the lovely Midnight Velvet kit:

Thanks for inviting me Heather -- it won't be my last challenge with Kerr - love your kits, Kerri.

[Kerr]

This challenge is getting extended so that everyone has ample time to find a buddy and get their layouts done. :) Take your time you have another week ladies :) I hope this helps some of you :)

[Leslie]

Oh I just looked up the Brocade Beauty kit - wow! And I especially like the film strip in it - I have decided that film strips are my new favorite thing!

I wrote you a review, too for the kit we did the challenge on. :)
