You have been waiting for the announcement of the April Challenge and the bunny brought it to me today in his basket.  Yes, that is the theme!  Put something in a basket or pocket.  Using all Stampin’ Up! products, at least 2 layers, make a card or scrapbook page using a basket(ie: level 3 hostess set Basket Full of Fun stamp set) or a pocket(ie: pockets & pieces) and have something filling the basket or pocket.  Imagine the possibilities of what you are going to create! 

 VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE APRIL CHALLENGER!
How?  Enter a comment at the bottom of this message, where it says “comment.”  Please enter your email so I know who left the message.  These ladies did a GREAT job on their cards and would like you to recognize their efforts with a vote.  Now place your vote and then tell everyone about the contest, so they can place their votes too!

Both entries are beautiful and I GREATLY appreciate Leane Martin and Jennifer Fossen for participating in the challenge!  Leane won the contest and she has won the Five-in-One Card Cover template on page 205 of the Stampin’ Up! Idea book and catalog!  Congratulations Leane!
So now that you’re all so happy for Leane, you would like to know who’s name was drawn as the winner for voting?  To make it fair, I added Jennifer’s name to the list also, since she participated in the contest and I had my ‘assistant’ Sydney Friederichs to help draw the name.
Sydney Friederichs“The winner is Michelle Gibbons!  Congratulations Michelle!”  Michelle will receive the Silver brads on page 231 of the Stampin’ Up! Idea book and catalog.  Leane used the silver brads on her winning design also.  Thank you to Beverly, Cherie, Crystal, Jan, Joyce, Lisa, Karen, Kathy, Kristen, Margie, Mary and Michelle F. for participating in the voting!
