Weekly Gallery Challenge- Pin It Up

Welcome back to Smeared Ink's weekly Gallery Challenge! Last week's challenge had three AWESOME entries using our digi stamps, but we also have a three way tie for the win! We have decided to open up the voting for two more days so we can get a winner, so please swing by last week's gallery challenge and vote for your fave entry and help us break the tie. You can find it here
. Voting will be open until midnight on Wednesday, then we will pit the four monthly winners against each other for a voting showdown that will name the ultimate monthly winner for April.

In the meantime, join in this week's gallery challenge by reading all the info below.

For those of you not familiar with the challenge, here is the low-down (we'll probably post this each week to keep newbies up to date, if you know the rules already just skip ahead to this week's theme):
Every Monday we are offering you an exclusive chance to get your project (and blog) added to our sample gallery at smearedink.com. Just use our stamps on a project, link to it, and then rake in the votes. We will announce the winner on the following Monday. At the end of the month, the weekly challenge winners will be pitted against each other to determine the monthly winner. The monthly winner will receive a 25% off coupon!


Here's how the challenge will work:
Each week will have a theme. We will post the theme on Mondays and the deadline to enter is Friday by midnight. Make a project to fit the theme using only Smeared Ink stamps. Post it to your blog and then link to it here.


The fun part about this challenge is, YOU will pick the winner! Starting Saturday morning, come by and vote for your favorite entry and encourage your friends to do the same. Voting will remain open until Sunday at midnight. We will announce the weekly winner on the following Monday, and they will be added to our online gallery!


At the end of the month, the weekly winners will battle it out, and once again the project with the most votes will be named the ultimate winner, and will receive a 25% off coupon for Smeared Ink stamps.


So, are you ready to play? Here is this week's theme:


THIS WEEK'S THEME:
PIN IT UP! This challenge offers you numerous creative outlets, as the only criteria is to use a pin somewhere on your project. It can be a safety pin, a hat pin, a hair pin....if it is a type of pin, you can use it! Other than that, your project must be stamped somewhere. Remember you can only use Smeared Ink stamps in this challenge, and your entry needs to be linked up by Friday at midnight. Good luck and Have Fun!
