Congratulations, ladies!! Please look for an email from me with the information about obtaining your Gift Certificates!! We’d like to extend a HUGE thank you to everyone that commented – we loved reading about your favorite die cut machines and dies!! Can’t wait to see you all use them in our challenges!
Here’s the inspiration for our very first challenge!! Check out this amazing project created by our own Jackie Rockwell, the brilliant mind behind this fun challenge! You are to use Jackie’s beautiful creation as your inspiration and create a project of your own! Easy peasy, right?! Here’s what the first half of our Cutting Edge Challenge Design Team, as well as our first Guest Designer, Kay Miller, created for the challenge:
