ric#16 & Shower Winners!

Since July has 5 Tuesdays this year, there is no new challenge until next week...but I do have some winners to announce!

First, our 2 random winners from the baby shower for Sarah and Cristina.  We were so happy to see the sweet baby cards you all made!  There were 30 linky entries, but some of you had 2 cards in one, so after I counted them all it came out to 37.  Here's what random.org had to say...

The winners are Gayatri and Suzanne!  Please email me (ourchangeofart@gmail.com) and let me know what online stamping supply store you want your $15 gift card to!

....and now the winners for ric#16.

I'll see you all next week with a new challenge :)

A Very Special Runway Inspired Baby Shower! (with prizes!)

As you know, two of our amazing Design Team members had babies this month!  We couldn't be happier for them.   In their honor, we decided to throw them a baby shower!

On July 3rd, Sarah gave birth to the beautiful Evelyn, and just last Tuesday Cristina welcomed a new baby boy!  

Now, this isn't going to be just any old shower...this will be the most fashionable baby shower you've ever been to.  The DT was inspired by these sweet looks from Dolce and Gabbana's childrenswear line, D&G Junior.

Oh my...aren't they adorable!?

Below you will find the links where you can see the baby cards that we made inspired by the above images- one for Sarah, and one for Cristina. 

Aga

Jen

Laura

(Angeline is away from home and therefore cannot participate, but she sends her best wishes!)


We'd love it if you could come to our baby shower too!  All you have to do is make a NEW BABY card inspired by one of the D&G Junior photos above, post it to your blog, and link it here- the linky will also be up on our blogs. If you want to make 2 cards, one inspired by each photo, even better! (see below)

Now, what would a baby shower be without prizes! And no, we won't be making you play those silly games to earn a chance at a prize.  Join in on the fun, and we will choose 2 random participants to each win a $15 gift card to the online craft supply store of their choice, donated by the RIC DT!  One winner will be chosen from anyone who works with the girl photo, and one will be chosen from those who work with the boy.  If you make 2 cards, you double your chances :)  Winners will be chosen by random.org.

~You must create a new project for each challenge.  It also must fit the Baby Card theme!

~Please include a link back to the Runway Inspired Challenge in your post

~When uploading your project, make sure to link to your entry post, not your entire blog

~When submitting to our challenge, you may combine with only 3 other challenges

~You may only submit a maximum of 2 cards- one inspired by the boy, one inspired by the girl.

~If it is not obvious how you were inspired by the photos, please explain it in your post. We don't want to overlook anything!

You have until Monday, July 30th at 8:00pm.  Don't forget that you still have until Friday to enter our current Runway Inspired Challenge, ric#16!
