GC48: Random Redhead Challenge - Growth

We are drawing to the end of our birthday month here on Gingersnaps and have been reflecting on how much we have grown in the past year. Plus, in many parts of the world signs of Spring are popping up everywhere, so we figured that

GROWTH

would be very apt for this month's Random Redhead Challenge. Your piece could be inspired by Spring and new growth, personal growth or growth in your family. We know you'll come up with dozens of fun and creative ideas!

One randomly drawn winner will be featured as the Gingersnaps Yahoo Group Home Page Artist as well as on the sidebar of the Gingersnap Creations blog for one week.

When the challenge closes on April 25, 2010, we will pick 7 Ginger Gems - fabulous creations that we feel really exemplify that challenge's objective. The Ginger Gems will appear in our wrap-up post and in a slide show in the blog bar for the entire week after the challenge wrap-up is announced and their creators will have the honor of displaying our Ginger Gems blog badge.

For your chance to be eligible as a Ginger Gem, just follow the simple guidelines below:

1) Make a paper crafting or mixed media creation using the growth as your theme;

2) Post your creation to your blog or online gallery with a mention and link to this post; and

3) Come back to this post and leave a comment including a DIRECT link to your creation or use Mister Linky below.

Remember to make it a link to the specific post or picture and not just a general link to your blog or gallery. We need to be able to find your art! For more information on our challenges and directions on linking, please check out our FAQ page.

One random winner and seven Ginger Gems will be announced from the qualifying submissions on April 27, 2010. You have until April 25, 2010 to enter!

Here are some Growth creations from our Design Team to inspire you!
