While the voting is still going I can give you a sneaky hint for Challenge 3...
It will be a TIME CHALLENGE...
You must complete a LO (whether it is a single or double) within 40 Minutes AT THE SHOP.
Requirements for the LO
1) Photo must be larger than 4x6 size
2) LO must contain title and journalling
3) LO must have an embellishment created by using the Sizzix machine INSTORE.
Please come to the store sometime between Wednesday 1st October and next Monday 6th October to complete the LO. You may prepare as much as you like HOWEVER you cannot have it stuck down etc prior to commencing the LO in store... You will need to bring your scrapping supplies and equipment with you.
Please note you will need to be here an hour before closing if you wish to complete it in the late afternoon.
Once the 40 Minutes is up - we will take the LO and post it on the wall as is - if it isn't completed then you will just have to cross your fingers and hope to get through to the next round. :) :) :)
GOOD LUCK
