September's Design Challenge - Jingle Bells
Sep 2^nd, 2016, 6:09pm

The Dash of Inspiration Design Challenge for September is on!

Theme: Jingle Bells

Requirements:
- Must be approved for the Holidays > Christmas Cards > Bells / Jingle Bells / Sleigh Bells category.

- Recipient must be ‘general’, in other words; any relation-specific creations should be done after the challenge – not for the challenge.

- Imagery must include at least one bell of the ‘sleigh bells and/or jingle bell’ variety. Other bells in the image okay too, but the “Jingle Bell” must be prominently represented.

……………………………………………………………

Entry Deadline: Friday, September 30th

……………………………………………………………

Good luck and let the September Challenge begin! I can hear those bells a-ringing already!

Hi Mindy, and Doreen,

I've been putting off posting this question, as I feel vey foolish, but I decided to enter the design challenge for the first time and I can't figure out where to send the entry. embarrassed

I've left it very late now too. Everyone else seems to manage it ... I've read all Doreen's instructions but i'm still not sure what to do, how embarrassing. Huh

Hi Carol - not too late yet!

You simply create a response on the blog post - down in the comments section you'll see how everyone else has entered - and leave a public link to your card. At this late stage, you can also just leave the PID in the comments section. We ask that be where all the entries are placed so that we always have access and a record on the same post as the challenge.

Make sense?

Thanks Doreen,

I've finally figured it out ... with a little help from my friends.

I'm soo late. Just waiting for it to come up in the bells sleigh category, its in my store, but doesn't show yet.
I'll put the PID number in for now, if it pops up soon, I'll send you the (url)

Thanks. Sorry I'm so late.
