Technique Tag Book To Date

Hi there! Today I’m announcing my challenge for September!

September’s Theme is to make a technique tag!

Since July 26th, I’ve been sharing lots of different techniques, using lots of fun products, and making some fabulous tags. So, now I’d like you to select three or more of those techniques and make your OWN technique tag!

September’s challenge rules:

  • Create a new technique tag using 3 or more of the techniques that I’ve shared here on this blog since July 26th! (You can combine my challenge with other challenges if you’d like.)
  • Upload your project to your blog or to Flickr (or some other similar Web site) and figure out the exact URL of that page. Cut and paste the exact URL into the Inlinkz tool below.
  • Please mention which 3 (or more) techniques you used.
  • Please link back to this challenge page (click on the post title to get the specific URL).
  • Please only one entry per person!
  • The challenge runs through Monday, September 20th, at 12:00 midnight EST. (The Inlinkz tool will automatically close when the challenge has ended.)
  • A randomly-selected winner will be announced on Friday, September 24th. The winner will receive an Amber Road clear stamp set from Pink Paislee.

What the randomly-selected winner will receive:

Amber Road clear stamp set from Pink Paislee

Amber Road clear stamp set from Pink Paislee

I can’t wait to see what ya’ll create!

Have fun!

And thanks for stopping by!

      Hi there, Anne. As usual, you have caught my eye and challenged my sensibilities with another fun project. I may indeed have to do this one as I have a lot of this month off — whew! Love that shot you used for the example. I stop by a lot and read up on all these things… don’t be surprised if you see some in the Sketchbook which you reminded me of on this very blog recently! LOL.
      Have a great Labor Day, Anne. Appreciate your artistry and spirit so much.
      Candace, Still in Athens

      Yahoo! I did it and I even recruited some folks!!! Sami is currently making a tag as well. I will have to load it via flickr since so your program doesn’t think I entered twice!

      Thanks Anne!
