March Metal Madness: New Metal Staples Challenge From Graphic 45
Hello Crafters!
It's Friday, hooray! We're so pleased you are joining us today for more craft fun at the Graphic 45 blog. We have two terrific announcements to make today! We've got a winner for this week's blog contest and we've got an awesome new craft challenge for all of you! But first we want to profusely thank all of you for posting your beautiful work on our Facebook Fan Page this week for our blog contest. We adore seeing what you are all creating with our papers. It is such a joy to see what amazingly creative minds you all have. It makes us so happy to see the brilliant ways you are using our papers to create your works of art. Thank you all so much for sharing your work with us! The random winner of this week's contest is Holly Pfarr Moore. Here are some examples of Holly's beautiful submissions this week using our Le Cirque collection.
Congratulations, Holly! Please email us at [email protected] to claim your prize! And thank you all so much again for submitting your gorgeous work on our Facebook Fan Site this week. You are all super stars!
Okay, it's challenge time! It's been a while since we've had a craft challenge here on the blog and we're very excited about this one! From now until April 6th we're challenging you to create an altered object that incorporates our new beautiful Metal Staples. Speaking from experience, the Metal Staples are so amazing to work with and they look stunning on anything. We've got examples below of some fabulous altered objects that were featured at this year's CHA. You can see a wide range of uses for the Metal Staples in these photos.
The rules for the challenge are pretty simple. Create as many different altered objects as you'd like that utilize our new Metal Staples and post them to our Facebook Fan Page. One project equals one entry for the challenge. The more projects you create, the more chanes you have to win! The deadline for submissions is April 6 and a winner will be chosen at random and announced on the blog April 8th. The winner will receive a package of each of our Metal Staples ($50.00 Value) along with all three of our new 12x12 paper pads Once Upon a Springtime, Curtain Call, and Le Cirque ($60.00 Value). That is $110 worth of gorgeous Graphic 45 products! Wow! We can't wait to see what you will dream up. Have a look at these gorgeous examples of altered objects using our new Metal Staples.
Alright crafters, the challenge is on! Have a fantastic weekend. We hope that you all have some time to create something lovely for yourselves or someone you love. Remember, we will have a new blog contest on Monday and we hope you'll join us!
Happy Friday!
Team Graphic 45
