Did you know that you can play in our Challenges even if you don't have a blog!

Simply upload your project to a photo sharing site, including your own personal Facebook accounts, and set the privacy setting to "Public" and include the name of our Challenge in your photo description! You can not link to projects shared in a closed Facebook Group because the linky tool can't access it there! It's that easy so do join the fun!

Some CAS inspiration from our Team Dream :

Granne has used Carmen's Veranda stamps Alfred Hitchcock and Flying Birds for her cards :

For Kim's ATC trio she has used Doodle Words and Nuance Powders from Lost Coast Designs : 

Nikki has used Cracked Party Cat from Lost Coast Designs for her card :

Nan has used Franco Face, Misc. Words and Grunge Tree from Lost Coast Designs for her journal page

Reminder to read our rules so that your entry is eligible to win prizes :)

AND don't forget that we have lifted our restriction that only LCD/CV stamps be used to enter our challenges.  But if you do use LCD/CV images then your entry will count as two which means you double your chances of winning.

Tell all your friends, come join us, and stay to play :)
