Happy fall everyone! We have a great new challenge for you this week.
 I know I had fun with it. :)
We are all about cards and projects with crackle finishes and diamond glazes this week, and you can see some great examples from the design team below.

Pick your favorite Tiddly Inks image and create using diamond glaze or a crackle finish (I have a freebie crackle design paper in our PCP group this week) and link your card by next Monday night at 10 PM CST.

We have two members out this week and this is Nancy's last week as our guest designer. She has added so much to us for the last six weeks and I am pleased to have had her on the team! Thanks so much for your amazing creativity, Nancy! :)

Winners from Challenge 20

Hi everyone. :) Well, another very tough week of choosing from an incredible list of very talented cards....so glad I don't have to do it. :) I just get to tally the votes. LOL

Soooo....there is going to be a bit of change coming our way. For the next month, our design team is submitting a list with their top 5 cards so that we can create a pool of candidates for a few spots on the DT, but those are NOT going to be published. I can assure you that this is a very difficult decision---would ya'll quit making such beautiful cards???? LOL Just kidding. :)

So that means that I won't be publishing the Top 3 cards for the next few weeks, but we will instead have two random winners---one $10 and one $5 gift voucher.

Okay, I can hear all of you yelling at me through the screen....LOL Please don't!!! :) It is hurting my ears. :) I am sorry for the suspenseful month, but I can't see another way to keep it neutral---we want a good sampling of each person's work and participation.

At the end of the month, I will provide the appropriate badges from each week for this month. I am keeping a master list. :)

So please don't send me any hate mail...LOL Just come back next week and play along just because you want to and enjoy our company. :) We certainly love your seriously wonderful cards and great attitudes. :)

Random Winners (using random.org)
$10 gift voucher goes to #16 - Melissa
$5 gift voucher goes to #32 - Kristyn

Open Spots on the Tiddly Inkers Design Team

Tiddly Inks has a few open spots on the Tiddly Inkers design team. If that makes you jump for joy (and I hope it does LOL), then please read this: :)

The Tiddly Inkers are a bunch of very talented and happy ladies and we want a few more just like them. :) To be considered, you must join in the challenges for the next month, be a member of Tiddly Inks PCP group who posts at least twice a week, be able to fulfill the duties, and not be on a huge number of other design teams.

If you think you want to be part of this, then we would love to see your mad crafting skills. :) I will be relying on the Top 3 to 5 picks from the weekly challenges to create a pool of candidates and then the Tiddly Inkers will pick from those and decide who they would like to see join us (I sound like a cult…a cult of cuteness and coloring LOL). This will start on Sept 7 and during the challenges from Sept 7 - Oct 5, you must participate in at least 4 challenges.

As a Tiddly Inker, your duties will be to:

--Post on the Tiddly Inks Paper Craft Planet forum/message board 

--Help inspire other members by posting to our weekly challenges (they are submitted by Monday)

--Visit the weekly challenge entries and comment on them (seeing all the gorgeousness is pretty fun. :D)

--Post a Tiddly card on your personal blog once a week 

--Create one "how-to", "tutorial" or "make and take" for the Tiddly Inks blog every six weeks or so if you can

--Promote Tiddly Inks when and wherever possible (i.e. blog badges, signature lines, etc) 

--Be generally awe-inspiring...:)

So, a good place to start is to join in the challenge next week and say goodbye to summer. I hope we see you for the next month--and beyond!!!

XOXO
