Challenge #8 Winner and our New DT!

What an exciting time it is here at Use It Tuesday! We just wrapped up another successful challenge and we are unveiling our new Design Team!

The number of applicants we had for our team was both an honor and humbling. Choosing the team was so difficult for us. How could one blog be blessed with so many talented applicants?! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who applied; we sure wish we could have chosen all of you.

And now, Drum Roll Please....Let's meet the Designers!

Jane
Papillon
Heather
Nancy
Dinah
Haven
Sonya

If you have been playing with us for a while, several of those names should look familiar to you! 4 of the 7 on our team had been regular hoarders...I mean players. :) Excuse my slip up!

And now, we have our winner from Challenge #8!!

I used the InLinkz random generator for the first time. It is DARLING, but I can't figure out to post it here. LOL If you want to check up on me, it is posted by InLinkz above the links of all the entries in the Challenge Post. :)

CONGRATULATIONS CARRIE!!

Carrie made this beautiful Cogs 'n Sprogs Tag:


As always our winner will be asked to join us as a Guest Designer in an upcoming challenge! She also gets to put this awesome button on her blog!

The next Use it Tuesday Challenge will go live on the 14th!

Are you ready to Use It??

Challenge #8 Sightings!

Oh, we just love seeing those dusty flowers and stamps being used!

Remember, you have until Friday to play! Just link to our challenge post by then to have a chance at being our next Guest Designer! (But we all know the real prize is just using your stash, right?!)

Here are few wonderful projects that really caught our eye this week:

Carla

Gerda

Hazel

Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with for the rest of the week! Remember to Use It!!!

Challenge #8: Flowers!

**Psst...in case you missed it, we are having a design team call which closes on May 28th! See this post for more information!**

This week's challenge is inspired by nature
(perhaps Siobhan's 14th wedding anniversary had a little to do with it, too!)...

We challenge you to USE YOUR FLOWERS!

But wait, there's MORE!

YOU HAVE TO PAIR YOUR FLOWERS WITH A STAMP YOU HAVE NOT PREVIOUSLY INKED!

Please link your creation using inlinkz by Friday June 3rd. No blog? No problem! Just use keyword USE008 when uploading to an online gallery and leave us a direct link so we can find your creation. (Linking tips are at the bottom of the post!)

Please make sure to mention you are playing along with a Use It Tuesday challenge (a link is great too!) so we know you are participating.

As always, one lucky participant will be randomly chosen to be a featured guest designer in an upcoming challenge!

Here is a little inspiration to get you started:

Siobhan used her neglected Whimsy Tree stamp paired with some Primas she got **ahem** 4 years ago.

Deonna, our winner from the last challenge, inked up this gorgeous image from Flower Soft and embellished it up with these gorgeous yummy yellow flowers! Check out her blog for all the details!

We can't wait to see what you create! Now go Use It!!
