Your Next Stamp Challenge - Pretty Pleats

Good Morning Everyone, Happy Wednesday!! Today its time for another fun and fabulous Your Next Stamp Challenge. This week Maureen is challenging you to add pretty pleats or ruffles to your creations. For my creation today, I decided to use scallops to create my ruffles. This is such a fun technique. You use your scallop punch and score on the opposite side of the paper you want to use, bend it up, and then continuing attaching ruffles until you feel like you have enough. I went ruffle crazy..LOL!!! I used this adorable image Mini Ellie loves to Skate for my creation!!! I just adore this miniature images, they are such a fun size!! Come check out all the mini images HERE. Hope you enjoy my creation today!!

As always, we have 2 fabulous prizes for you to win.

1. Winner – one lucky winner will be chosen by random.org to win $10 in YNS Stamp Bucks (to spend on YNS stamps) and the Winner Blinkie to proudly display on their blog!

2. Top Pick – one lucky entry, chosen by the YNS DT, will win $5 in YNS Stamp Bucks (to spend on YNS stamps) and the Top Pick Blinkie to proudly display on their blog! [NB You must use a YNS stamp on your creation to be eligible to win the Top Pick prize].

We’d love to see you use a YNS stamp on your challenge card/creation, but if you don’t have one, then you can still join in and be entered into the prize draw! As our challenge runs for 2 whole weeks you have plenty of time to hop on over to the YNS Store and pick up some of these cuties yourself! And if you do use a YNS stamp on your challenge card/creation, you’ll be entered into the prize draw TWICE and be entered into the Top Pick draw – that’s 3 chances to win! YNS Store has plenty of winter stamps and you can see them HERE.

To enter, follow the challenge and use a stamp (traditional or digital) somewhere on your creation, post it on your blog or in your online gallery, and post the direct link to it using the Linky widget below. (Please do not post a general link to your blog or gallery, as this makes it more difficult for us to find your card - thanks!). If the linky widget is not working, please post your link in the comments section below, and we will add it for you when the widget is back up and working. If you do not have a blog, then please email us a photo of your challenge entry so we can add it to our online gallery and enter you into the draw.

Hope you can stop over and join in the fun!!!! Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope everyone has a GREAT Wednesday!!!
