Guest CT Contest*February 2009

[katie pertiet]

It's time for the first Guest CT Contest of 2009!!

And this year we've decided to mix it up a bit!

To enter you need to have posted 6 layouts in the Guest CT Gallery by the end of the month. No more. No Less.

3 of those layouts are to be assignments:
1. mix products to include product from at least 3 different designerdigitals designers
2. scrap a page with 3 or more photos
3. focus on journaling

3 layouts can be your choice.

And, as before, layouts must be 100% DesignerDigitals products.

WHY change it? Well, to level the playing field more. WHY 6 layouts? Because our permanent CT members are asked to do 6 layouts per month so we thought that was good number!

When posting, please include the assignment or the word 'choice' in your post title or description.

And what do you win?? Well that's changed too!
You WIN 8 weeks of new product releases!
And you know how much new product we release every week... it will certainly add up!

We look forward to seeing all the inspiration!

**ETA** As in the past, our contest is not open to digital scrapbook product designers!

Sounds exciting...its going to be hard to only post 6 though...lol

[Denise Gormish]

Interesting and good assignments!

How am I going to limit it to 6 layouts????

[Starlite9711]

That is the real challenge!! It is ok if we post more to our regular gallery though right?! This will be fun and challenging! Thanks for mixing it up!!

[katie pertiet]

sure you can post more to your regular member gallery but only 6 total in the Guest CT category!

[katrinak]

so excited to see what all of you talented ladies create!

[Steph]

I'm sooooo excited to see everyone's layouts!!!!

[quilter422]

wow, exciting changes!

[cheekymonkey]

I'm diggin' the new rules! This is going to be fun!

[omyjallopy]

WOW!!! I love the new rules!!! The other can be exhausting !

[mugsbigsis]

What a wonderful contest this will be. Having specifics for some of the pages will actually help some of those who need "prompts", too. I think this is a wonderful challenge and the prize is sure worth the effort that will go into the pages. :O)

[hguenthe]

Loving the changes! I am a prompt needer... guess why I am loving challenges and Cassie's 30MM so much... gives a direction to jump off from.

Question: total of 6 layouts posted in the gallery... if we do one, post it and then later do a different one we like better, can we just move the old one out of the gallery into our member section and move the new one into the contest gallery as long as we have the 6 entries set in the gallery by the end of the contest? Or best to post in member section and then just before end move in the 6 we want to enter? (does that make sense?)

[JALong]

I am ready for all the fun to begin. I will really enjoy seeing all the amazing work. Good luck everyone!

you can move things around but they need to be new layouts posted this month and at no time can you have more than 6 layouts in the Guest CT gallery! HTH!

[av8orchk]

Wow! This is really exciting.
I like the changes ... makes it easier to compare the work that everyone does when they start with the same requirements.
I think I may actually enter! (I've been "stalking" this contest for over a year now.)
Good luck, everyone!

[LauraBean]

Hey, I like it! Thanks, Katie!

[bjwtville]

I like rules...I am a rule person. I think this will really be fun!! Can't wait to see all the inspiration. I always feel so intimidated by the extraordinary talent that we see during Guest CT time.

This is an awesome idea, Katie! This makes contest months much easier on contestants! I am certain that there will be beautiful LOs created for this!

[greenpoppy]

Great idea! Am looking forward to seeing all the layouts, that gallery is so inspiring.

[shhbabymine]

I love these changes and new rules - I cant wait to see what everyone posts

[laura grimes]

I am stoked! Ha ha, no one says that anymore do they? This will be lots of fun, thanks Katie!

[Gilmoregirl]

I like the new rules, always up for a challenge

[Elena]

I like rules & structure too... must be my anal CPA tendencies!

[lexicam]

I've been a lurker for so long and the new rules have me jumping up and down.
Thanks Katie and team for the opportunity!

[Kayleigh]

Hehe.. around here, shouldn't it be "I'm stroked!" I am stoked too, loving seeing all the cool layouts.

[tomkat]

The new rules are a really good idea! I can't wait to see everyone's pages this month!

[earlofoxford]

Oooh, I love a challenge -- this is going to be fun!

[digigrandma]

It is great to see all the interest the new Guest CT contest is generating, Katie! I think it is going to be an exciting February!

[rsowers]

Very exciting. I work better if I have assignments. :-) Now, if only I can remember HOW to scrap (LOL). It's been awhile!
