Pick of the Party News

2011-02-16T20:01:00.000-08:00

Hi Stampin' Celebration fans!!

We've decided to change-up how we choose our Pick of the Party winners each week here at the Stampin' Celebration Inspiraton Challenge. Instead of choosing three winners each week and announcing them on Wednesday, we are going to be choosing one winner each week and they will be invited to be our guest designer for the following week's challenge. This will leave everyone an extra day to play in the challenge, as we will not be closing the challenge until Wednesday afternoon. So you won't find out who the Pick of the Party guest designer is until NEXT week Thursday!!

Thanks so much to all of you who played along last week!! Join us again tomorrow and find out what we will be celebrating next!!!
