GC96: Third Annual Copper, Ginger, or Rust Challenge

Each year, we go back to our roots otherwise known as our very first challenge. This year is no exception. We'll be showing off our Gingersnapper Spirit with a Color Blog Hop for our Yahoo Group members. See the bottom of the post for more information.

as your color palette! Show off your amazing Gingersnapper spirit with some Gingery art!

When the challenge closes on April 24, 2011, we will pick 10 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 one or more of the colors copper, ginger or rust;

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 the linky application 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 26, 2011. You have until April 24, 2011 to enter!
