GC119: Random Redhead Challenge - Shared Moments

The great part of any friendship are those shared moments of joy, occasional sadness and down right silliness. We challenge you to create inky representations of those

Capture those unforgettable bits of life with some great papercrafting! Come on - we dare you!

We would like to thank Viva Las Vegastamps for their generous sponsorship throughout this month!

One randomly drawn winner from the qualifying participants for this challenge will become our new Home Page Artist for a week as well as winning this lovely and versatile set of flower stamps from Viva Las Vegastamps. To see one of the wonderful uses for this stamp set, check the video tutorial by Teri Sproul.

When the challenge closes on October 16, 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 "shared moments" as your 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 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.

Also 10 Ginger Gems will be announced from the qualifying submissions on October 18, 2011. You have until October 16, 2011 to enter!

The Gingers have come together themselves to give you some fantastic inspiration!
