Cindy Lou's Challenges

CINDY LOU'S OLYMPIC CHALLENGE FEBRUARY 15 - MARCH 15, 2010

These days I am very proud to be a Canadian and very excited that this wonderful country is hosting the 2010 Olympic games. Because of that I decided to host a challenge with a bit of an Olympic twist! Create a paper project that uses at least 3 of the colors of the Olympic rings.

The colors you are allowed to use are as follows: Brilliant Blue, Basic Black, Real Red, Summer Sun, Glorious Green and Whisper White. Please take a picture and upload it to your blog, website or photo storage online and then enter using Mr. Linky below. You may increase your chances of winning by submitting multiple entries if you like. On March 16th the winner will be selected and will receive a free registration to the Ustamp with Dawn & Friends Spring Soiree 2010. This is a 4 week online class with daily projects, swaps, chats, prizes and so much more! For more information go to the Ustamp website by clicking on the picture below.

To get you started here are two cards that I've made to give you a little inspiration:

Here are some samples that my customers submitted:
