Welcome to Magazine Monday! Now that we’re getting closer and closer to the beginning of May, I can share a little secret I’ve been keeping for awhile…a super hush-hush secret. The kind of secret that I can only share with a few of my close, personal friends. Good thing you’re all good at keeping secrets, right?
Paper Crafts is happy to announce that our fan favorite Gallery Idol competition is back for season four! Make sure to check back here next Monday when we reveal the official Gallery Idol 2010 timeline and card theme for the Open Auditions round.
But before we’re consumed with Idol mania, let’s pay tribute to our three April Gallery Challenge winners. Ironically, two of these talented ladies (Lucy and Vanessa) are former Gallery Idol 2009 finalists. Let’s see how they all did with our shimmer challenge!
Look how Lucy accented her butterfly wings with gorgeous glitter.
We loved how Nicky subtly added sparkly Stickles to the centers of her stamped flowers. Click on the image for a closer look.
With pearls, bling and a shiny satin bow, Vanessa's card definitely shimmers!
Congratulations, ladies! Each of you has won either a one-year subscription to Paper Crafts or the special issue of your choice. I’ll be contacting you shortly to discuss your prizes. If you’re interested in seeing all the shimmer and shine-themed projects from the April challenge, please visit our gallery HERE.
Wanna join the fun and participate in our next challenge? We just launched our Go-to Sketch Challenge #2 last Monday. This two-week sketch challenge will run through midnight (MDT) on Monday, May 3 – the very same day we kick off Gallery Idol 2010!
Happy Monday!
Kelly
