{June} Blog Hop and Inspiration Challenge!

>> Wednesday, June 1, 2011


We had so much fun with our first Inspiration Challenge and Blog Hop, we're so excited that you are joining us again for the second time! 

Each month we want to showcase some very talented ladies. Starting with the Polkadot Door be sure to work your way through the blogs and see what the design team has created using our inspiration photo. As you hop be sure to leave a comment on every blog and head back here once you are done. Leave a comment on the Polkadot Door to let us know you completed the blog hop and tell us who your favourite designer was.

POLKADOT DOOR INSPIRATION CHALLENGE

Ready for some fun inspiration? Along with the blog hop designers, we've come up with some fun inspiration for you in your crafting endeavours with some more great prizes. We'll be giving away some great prizes to our participants, as well as choosing 6 - 10 designers to be part of our July Design Team!

Here is what the Polkadot Door Lead Designers came up with:

As well, six to ten authors of the most impressive creations
will be chosen to serve on our July Design Team and Blog Hop, one of whom
will receive this adorable vintage kit from the Polkadot Door!


Inspiration Details :
  • Create a paper crafting project (card, layout, off-the-page item), based on provided inspiration (photo, sentiment, or element : scrabble tiles).
  • Post your creation on your blog or an online gallery (using a code PDD), and link it here with the Mr. Linky widget below. Please provide a direct link to your post, not an entire blog. 
  • A new challenge is being posted the first of every month, and you've got until midnight on 15th to submit your entry.
  • You may enter as many times as you like, but you're asked to provide a newly designed project. We ask that you combine this challenge with no more than 3 other challenges.
  • We will choose one winner  from the list of players who will receive the prize provided by the sponsor(s). In addition, the authors of the six to ten most impressive creations will awarded the design team positions for the following month, as well as the opportunity to be our featured designer. Special consideration will be given to participants who use all three of the inspiration elements. 
  • We will announce the Inspiration Challenge winners on the 20th. Design team members will be contacted before then by email.
  • Above all, have fun - and be inspired!

    Ladies.. I cannot express how impressed I am by what you've put together for the blogging community. The idea is so fresh and fun and the inspiration is so great! Kudos to you two, really! This month's team is no let down, either.. beautiful work all around! My favorite has to be Jennifer's Love balloon --- I loved the dimension it has.. and it was so very vintage. But the other girls were not far behind! Everyone did so great with their interpretation of the inspiration images and I cannot wait to submit something! ♥♥

    I've been to see everyone's projects, so many pretty things! The inspiration picture has produced some great results. Sarah - I love the bunting on your layout, and Rebecca that stamp is so sweet on your card.
    Thanks for inviting me to participate! xx

    Sarah, I love your layout! It's darling and the photos are priceless.
    Rebecca, you card is fantastic- it reminds me of something I would see carved into a tree! ;) It's so cute! I love the wood on it!
    Thank you again for having me along for the June blog hop! It's so much fun!

    I did the hop and the inspiration was amazing!! You girls are so talented. My favorite is Nicole B's. Her use of the branch from her daughter was fabulous!!! Great job Nicole!!

    Sabrina's penguins rock my socks!!! great hop ladies!

    I vote for Sabrina's beautiful page although I have to admit it was a little difficult to quickly check everyone's projects because the hop posts aren't permalinked. I had to search through each blog to find the PolkaDot Designs DT page. The level of design expertise in this group is amazing- I learned a lot looking through the blogs. :)

    Sabrina's page is awesome. They are all fabulous projects - but that is my fave. Will be checking back for more inspiration for sure!
