Challenges at the Inky Impressions Yahoo Group

Current Inky Challenge Click HERE

Hello everyone! This is Angela here and I wanted to let you know that we have some fun and exciting contests planned at the Inky Impressions Yahoo Group. Crystal (our DT Leader) has asked me to take over the challenges planned at the group. If you are not a member, please sign up - remember you get a discount on any Inky Impressions stamps if you join the Inky Impressions Yahoo Group.

So let me tell you the 2 challenges we have for this month.

#1. Every month we will be having a Home Page contest with a monthly theme. This month our theme will be FLOWERS. The winner will have their card displayed for the whole month of June to greet our members every time they sign on to the group. You have till the end of May to enter this contest.
Link to the June Homepage Card album.

#2. There is also another challenge during each month that will follow a theme. We will pick a theme and the winner will win a gift certificate generously donated by Nicole the owner of Inky Impressions to use at her store. Woohoo!!! The theme to work with this month is SUMMER FUN. Please upload your entry to the May Monthly Challenge album in the Photos section. The winner will be announced at the beginning of June.
Link to the May Monthly Challenge album.

Both challenges are due the last day of the month and we will pick our winners and let you know soon after.

Hope everyone can participate and please let us know when you create a card so we can all come visit you and comment. All entries to any challenges listed at the Inky Impressions Yahoo Group MUST use an Inky Impressions image. Thanks! Can't wait to see what you all create! hugs, Angela Wood

Since it is May, many of us are thinking FLOWERS. Rather than challenge you to just using flowers, we would like you to choose two or more from our recipe of sorts using the letters in flowers. For example:

Choose at least two letters from:
F: flowers or faux (faux stitching, faux suede, faux leather...)
L: Lace or lacing
O: circles or circle embellishments (brads, pearls, etc)W: Water coloring, Wax Paper Resist
E: embossing or easel
R: Ripping, Distressing, tearing or ribbon
S: stitching (real or Faux) or sparkle

Please let us know the letters and items you chose.

This weeks challenge will be going on for TWO WEEKS so you have plenty of time to come and join the fun. No need to use Inky Images but if you have them we would love to see you use them!!!! To be eligible to get Inked by the Inkettes you must have all creations uploaded to Mr. Linky by May 31st by Midnight Eastern Time. We can't wait to see your creations this week.
