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.

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.
