GC51: Random Redhead Challenge - Botanical

It's Earth Day tomorrow, so we thought what better way to celebrate our home and native planet than a tribute to all things growing! So our Random Redhead Challenge this month is to create something with

B O T A N I C A L

as your inspiration! Think of flowers, plants, trees and other greenery! Let your creativity bloom!


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 May 16, 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 an entire week and their creators will have the honor of displaying our Ginger Gems blog badge.

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

1) Make a paper crafting or mixed media creation using botanical as your theme or inspiration;

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 May 18, 2010. You have until May 16, 2010 to enter!

Now that the paperwork is done, let's get on to the papercraft!
