Birthday Bash

Birthday Bash Winners!

It’s the moment you all have been waiting for…..it’s time to announce the winner of the 10 Minute Craft Dash Birthday Bash challenge, along with the favorites and the blog hop winners! Just to forewarn you, this is going to be a super long post- but it’s all fun, so I’m hoping you won’t mind!

Before I get any further, I want to mention that the new challenge starts TOMORROW and if you go and like the Pretty Pink Posh Facebook page, you’ll get an exclusive peek at the challenge a day early! There’s going to be a fun kit as the provide from our sponsor, so you won’t want to miss out on that!

Okay, now back to the task at hand. I knew for certain that I wouldn’t be able to pick the winning card on my own {can you imagine the pressure of choosing someone to win that HUGE prize?!}, I had my amazing DT help weigh in with their picks. After comparing lists and then adding my picks to the mix, I was able to choose the grand prize winner and the 6 favorites from the challenge.

Congratulations to Veronica Z!

Veronica, please email me with your mailing information so I can get your amazing prize sent off to you! Also, feel free to grab the badge below and proudly display it on your blog!

Here are the favorites picks that the DT and I chose from this last challenge. If you haven’t already, be sure to stop by each of the blogs to take a look at the beautiful cards! {Ladies, feel free to grab the badge below and put it on your blogs!}

Okay, now onto some more prizes…. it’s time to pick the 10 blog hop winners from the random comments left on the birthday bash posts from the special guests this last week. The blogs were chosen at random, as were the comments. Ready to see if you were one of the lucky gals? Let’s take a look….

If you were one of the lucky blog hop winners, please email me and I’ll get the necessary information to you and/or connect you with the person who can help you further.

Note: winners will have TWO weeks to claim their prize. After that time, their prize will be forfeited. If you know any of the lucky winners, feel free to let them know they won!

Well, sweet readers, that’s going to wrap up this super fun winners post. A giant thank you to all of the amazing sponsors who donated to the birthday bash, the special guests who participated, the participants who joined in the challenge and also those who hopped along in the blog hop. This special occasion was made a success because of YOU! Crossing my fingers we can continue on with the 10 Minute Craft Dash for another year!

Craft Dash

10 Minute Craft Dash Birthday Bash

It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since the first 10 Minute Craft Dash challenge. I honestly have gotten so much joy seeing all of the amazing entries from around the world, working with amazing sponsors and designers, developing friendships with the design team and also continuing to be stretched in my quick crafting skills.

I wanted to celebrate this momentous occasion in a BIG way, so I enlisted the help of sponsors and just a few of my incredibly talented friends, crafting peers and of course, the 10 Minute Craft Dash DT.

I have been hinting at the HUGE grand prize for a while now and I’m glad I can finally share what it is. One lucky person is going to win everything in this picture below- yes, including a $50 gift certificate! These products were graciously donated by the following companies: Ellen Hutson, Neat & Tangled, DeNami Design, May Arts, Precious Remembrance and Soapbox Creations. Imagine all the hours of creativity that could happen if you won this!

Remember how I said I wanted this birthday to be a big celebration? Part of that will be in the form of a 10 Minute Craft Dash Blog Hop featuring my special guests and the DT. There are a total of 28 stops (including this one) and I know you all are in for lots of treats with the talent packed into the list. Before we get to that though, I want to mention that there are TEN blog hop prizes up for grabs (sponsored by StampNation, Ellen Hutson, DeNami Design and Jennifer McGuire for Online Card Classes)- I’ll be randomly picking comments from the various stops at the close of the challenge on August 17, 2013.

Here is the master list of the blog hop stops. If you happen to get lost along the way, or there’s a missing link, you can refer to this list. Grab yourself your beverage of choice and be inspired by the crafty creations and videos. Also, remember, these items were created within 10 minutes!

Okay, now let’s move onto my card and video for today’s post. I have been absolutely in love with mint recently and will find any excuse to add it to my projects. Today I paired it with several DeNami Design stamps, some patterned paper and a little bit of twine.

Time it took to create: 8 minutes 53 seconds
