Welcome to the All Occasions Challenge Blog!

Hi Everyone! We would like to welcome you to the All-Occasions Challenge Blog! We love creating for Holidays and Special Occasions, and would love to see all of your creativity and ideas for projects you are working on.  It just seemed natural to create a challenge blog for holidays and special occasions because we can all share our ideas and have a whole lot of fun together. And now, starting with our first challenge, All-Occasions will be a one-stop source for creative ideas, fabulous prizes, and paper-crafting fun for all the special occasions in our lives!

All-Occasions Rules:

Each month a new Holiday or Occasion Challenge will be posted with samples from the 6 design team members.  Everyone is welcome to play along with ANY brand of stamps and products they choose. The more the merrier! You can play any month at any time and enter as many projects as you would like.

At the end of the month, a winner of the challenge will be chosen to receive the grand prize.  To play, just upload your projects to your online blog or gallery and then leave a link to your creation in the Mr. Linky section on that week's post. When you leave your link, be sure to link directly to the post or gallery page where we can read about and/or comment on your project. You can get the link by clicking on the title of your blog post (or going to the page of your project in the online gallery) and then copying the url from the address bar and pasting into Linky Tools.

Just remember to link back to the challenge blog in your blog post, and use the tag/keyword AO{challenge#} in online galleries. For example, challenge #1 should have keyword AO1. Entries posted on blogs without the link to the challenge or entries posted in online galleries without the keyword will not be eligible to win the grand prize.



The All-Occasions Creators:

Please welcome the 6 award-winning stampers on the All-Occasions Design Team.  They will be playing along and give us a little inspiration each month for the challenge. These fabulous ladies are incredible artists and I know you will look forward to seeing what they create each month!
