HOW TO ENTER BLOG CHALLENGES

This week I have been spending a lot of time blog hopping looking for blogs that had challenges on them. After submitting my first ever challenge entry, I was buzzed and left wanting to find out more about the whole process. Then I thought it might be a good topic of a post for those of you that are still "Challenge Newbies".
Each blog usually has a Design Team that post their entries when the challenge is issued as inspiration. Here are a few I found - there are lots more.

Days the challenges are issued:

MONDAY- Fantabulous Cricut deadline is Sunday midnight. Any paper craft item. Prizes are drawn by random.org . The 4 weekly winners are entered for a monthly grand prize.
MONDAY - Paper Playtime deadline is Saturday midnight. Any paper craft item. Prizes are weekly from various sponsors. Winners must have USA mailing address. (Friends or Relatives will come in handy here).
WEDNESDAY - Cricut Cardz Challenge deadline is Monday midnight. Card challenge only. Prizes are drawn by random.org . The 4 weekly winners are entered for a monthly grand prize.
WEDNESDAY - Wacky Wednesday deadline is Monday midnight. Any paper craft item. Prizes are drawn by random.org
FRIDAY - Paper Cutz Challenge deadline Thursday midnight. Any paper craft item. Prizes are drawn by random.org . The 4 weekly winners are entered for a monthly grand prize.

Rules for entry:

Post your picture to your blog or email it to them. On the blogs there is either a "Mister Linky" or "Add your link" blue key to push and then fill in the information. Some have other criteria to follow and it is listed at the bottom of the challenge post.

As people enter their projects a list forms at the bottom of the post. Click on their name and it will take you to their blog. It is a great way to surf and see lots of creative blogs.

Prizes:
Each blog announces the weekly winner on their blog. They do not contact the winner so you have to keep track and then reply with an email.

I hope this takes some of the mystery out of how to post a challenge entry and I want to encourage you to give it a try.

Happy Cricut Crafting
