Weekly Challenge - Up In Flames

So sorry for the delay folks; my internet has been down until now so I wasn't able to get any of the info or amazing samples posted for you. But, I'm back up, so I'll be posting this week's challenge and the winner from last week's Gothic Newborn challenge. Hope you had fun with that one, I know we did!

But enough waiting, let's get right to this week's challenge. Here's a reminder of the rules JIK:

*Each Monday morning a new challenge will be posted. It will contain that week's theme and prize information.

*To participate, you must make a project that fits the theme and add it to the post using the Inlinkz linky. Your link must take us directly to your project, or it will be disqualified - so please make sure you're linking to your actual post. It must be linked by midnight on the following Saturday, Pacific Time. This gives you six days to complete the challenge.

*Your project can be anything (card, scrapbook page, altered or 3-d item, etc) as long as it is handmade and stamped somewhere with either a rubber or digital stamp. We have taken into consideration our digital artist fans and will be allowing all-digi projects. Feel free to think outside the box and have fun with your project! We are all about looking at things differently and look forward to the variety of projects and mediums we are sure to see.

*You must use AT LEAST 1 Smeared Ink image on your project. You are allowed to use anything else that you like.

*The weekly winner will be chosen by random number and revealed on Sunday morning. Prizes will vary and may range from a free digi to a coupon to a blog badge.

So let's get to it! Here's this week's info.

The Challenge:

UP IN FLAMES

We're going to let you play with fire this week! Channel your inner pyro and burn, singe, or scorch a project. Or, take the challenge and use it as a theme, it's your choice.

Dead Divas Challenge Winner

Thank you to all who participated! Some of you slid those entries in right at the last minute, and we're glad you did! The more the merrier because we really love seeing your creativity! Unfortunately we do have to disqualify some of the entries, as they did not use a Smeared Ink image, however, thank you ALL for participating and still showing us your very outstanding work.

It does get a little confusing with the many challenges we host, but rule of thumb, if it's on the forum, it can be any image, but if it's on the blog, it should have a Smeared Ink image somewhere on it. Hope that helps and we know you'll get the hang of it :) (I'm still trying to get the hang of it, so no worries!)

So now, onto the winner for this week!

The winner is SUSAN'S CRAFTY CHAOS!

Wow, you're a lucky gal Susan! Please email me at smearedinkstamps@gmail.com to claim your Nurse Jenny digi. 

Thank you all so much for participating and we hope you'll join us tomorrow for the new challenge!
