Welcome to Our Very First Challenge!

Gosh! Are you only half as excited as we are? (Guess, not *lol....mostly thoughts like: is the Inlinkz tool installed correctly? Will they like our challenge? Will they throw tomatoes and never come back?...;).

Maybe you have already read our starting post about our dreams, visions and goals upon this challenge blog. If not, take the time please, as we try to explain how we think about the challenges we will prepare for you (hoping, you will enjoy them as much and as often as possible;).

But for now let's skip the sentimental part and turn to the fun thing....
the challenge itself....and our first challenge theme iiiiIIS....

"Cuckoo Clocks Go Steampunk!"

We want you to create projects showing steampunk cuckoo clocks - well, to be exact: what YOU imagine steampunk cuckoo clocks could look like. It could be a tag or a card with a cuckoo clock on it, a paper crafted project, a project created using mixed-media techniques,.... as long as a cuckoo clock is the main focus....but, please, read the rules and the "about"-stuff before starting. There are a few things we ask you to take an eye on before creating and entering a project with our challenges.

Updated: we offer two separate inlinkz-collections for 2D and 3D/altered objects each. So the monthly Top3 will be chosen twice and the problem of the two categories not being comparable may be solved that way too - besides creating a much larger field for creativity ;)

To start our challenge blog, we managed to invite a wonderfully talented stamper and crafter to do us the honour being our Special Guest Designer: please, welcome Rosie from "Rosie's Bastelwelt"!

Here's what she created on this very special occasion! (WE LOVE IT!) Thank you so much, Rosie, for sharing this awesome cuckoo clock project with us and for being with us today. As usual there went such a lot of thought, perfection and creative thinking into this!

Brilliant, isn't it? And here come the projects from the DT!

Hopefully - even though we are just the two of us (with some wonderful additional help from our GD Rosie ;) - you have seen sufficient inspiration to be in the mood to create something for our challenge and join in. We would love to see your projects with this month's challenge!

The challenge is open until the end of the month and we will announce our (very first) Top3 about a week after the collection has closed. We will also spotlight some of the entries throughout the month. So check back from time to time to see if you are the one!

And there's even more awesome news for you: on this very special occasion we also offer a surprise

 Give-Away! 

The winner will be drawn randomly at the end of this month's challenge and all who enter a project (following our rules and the theme of course) are eligible! Cool, huh?

So we look forward to seeing many awesome designs of yours and hope that you have a lot of fun and enjoy yourselves at being challenged that way ;)

 Please, use Inlinkz to share your projects with us (if the inlinkz-thingie does not work, tell us the URL to your post via comment form).

Wishes,

SanDee&amelie
