While you are furiously working on your entries using your favorites from Hero Arts, we thought we’d do a giveaway of some of our favorite things. Leave your name in the Inlinkz below (a comment would be lovely, but you can only win if you enter using the Inlinkz tool) and we’ll draw a random winner next Wednesday, April 11th. The winner will receive Hero Arts Large Fabric Design Cling Backgound and a Hero Arts Shadow Ink in Soft Pool!

Challenge #1!!! PLAY FAVORITES
Hello there and welcome to our FIRST ever challenge!
To say we’re excited is an understatement 🙂 The response to our Celebration week last week was just UH-MAZING, we’re so grateful that so many people took time out of their day to come visit us and leave *such* lovely comments (they really were the loveliest!)
Now that you’ve all had a week and FIFTEEN amazing cards to get you into the crafty mood, we thought it only fitting that our first challenge continue with the theme of the Celebration week–
We want you to choose your favourite Hero Arts products (this DOESN’T have to be stamps, but of course, we can’t imagine anyone not loving HA stamps!) and make a project using it/them!
This week’s challenge (and all the ones to come :)) are sponsored by the amazing, fantabulous
To offer you even more inspiration, Mary Dawn and I have asked a couple of good friends of ours (who are also amazing designers of COURSE!) to join us this month!

Celebration Day 4!!
The theme is
Without further ado, here are todays cards!
Kelly Rasmussen made this beauty
WOW. what a great way to use up small scraps of paper in a way that looks NOTHING like scraps! And who doesn’t love background stamps?! So bright and cheery.
In typical gorgeous style, Lucy Abrams made us this:
**edited** The adorable foxes in this card are actually from the stamp! To make them facing each other Lucy simply cut off the head and tail (no foxes were harmed in the making of this card though :)) and put them on the opposing side for one of them! HOW COOL!
(apologies for our earlier text saying this was a digital card)
And Hero Arts Flickr Group sweetheart Lin Brandyberry created this stunning number!
Please come back tomorrow for our final day of this wonderful Celebration week!
We can’t thank you all enough for your support and excitement. It means the world to us.
The products used in the above cards are linked below (of course).
