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.

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
