Happy Birthday Creative Challenge Winners

OK, convention is over and I've finally chosen our Happy Birthday Creative Challenge winners! I had hoped to get to them last week, even with all the hustle and bustle of convention, but it didn't happen. Thank you for your patience!

I enjoyed looking through the birthday submissions--there were a lot of cards, and a few fun other projects as well. Because the majority of the projects were cards, most of the winners were cards as well. Thank you so much for creating and sharing--you inspire me! (Even though convention is over, I had to get the convention theme in one last time!)

Congratulations to the winners!

July 17--Greg

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I'm totally excited to win! Convention was wonderful - so much inspiration I have tons of ideas in my head. I added step-by-step instructions on how to make the birthday card in a later post on my blog - July 29th.
Thank you again!

Hi Shelli,
I thought I would mention in brief my thanks to you as you give so much inspiration to all your demos around the world including myself and to be selected as one of the winners is just so overwhelmingly exciting since I have never won a challenge before. Thank you so much and I am so glad you liked my project.

thanking you again.

With sincere thanks,
Heather

I was totally blown away when I found out that my card was chosen as a winner in the Happy Birthday Creative Challenge. I am just so happy to have made a card that was appreciated and I would like to thank Shelli for choosing my creation and providing a very generous prize.

Thank You,
Greg Price

BRAVO SHELLI!

I looked for an email link for you but could not find one. I hope you do not mind that I post this here. Just delete if it is inappropriate!

I am so happy for this new and clear change in IDA. As a true to the line Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and Blogger I have found it extremely difficult to compete with readership on my blog. I did not feel comfortable in using other products, as much as I love nestabilities, on my blog.

I use ONLY Stampin' Up products and have found ingenious ways to "copy" FAMOUS ALCOHOL MARKERS, using acetate and re inkers,those FAMOUS FLOWER FUZZIES using pencil shavings and re inkers and even that FAMOUS FAKE SNOW and ICING using flour, salt and water and of course re inkers! ALL of these methods were well received, however so many readers want the newest and latest items that I could not offer.

I welcome the level playing field now! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Sincerely
Donna Centamore
