BLOG HOP!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STAMPTACULAR!


Can you believe it? The Stamptacular Sunday Challenge Blog is One Year Old today! It's amazing how time flies! Hopefully you've had just as much fun participating as the Design Team members have had bringing you different challenges each and every week!

Before we begin our hop, I'd like to share with you some changes that you'll see happening here at Stamptacular! Just when you thought the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge couldn't get any better...we've racked our brains and think we've come up with a few more ways to bring our visitors and participants even MORE FUN!

1. From now on, you are allowed to enter your finished projects in our challenge as well as any others that your heart desires...as long as it follows our challenge rules for the week!

2. We will post at least ONE TUTORIAL a month...sometimes even more. You'll find the links to these tutorials on our sidebar. We're also allowing our visitors and participants to add their tutorials to our sidebar too! So...if you have a tutorial you've created yourself, or one that you make in the future, and want to share it with us here at Stamptacular, please contact me at misscill@yahoo.com. What a great way to get visitors to your own personal blog!

3. We are bringing back the Monthly Guest Designer position. Each month, any participant that has entered three or more of our challenges will be entered into the vote. The Design Team members will then take a vote. The winner will then be showcased on our Stamptacular Blog, along with their weekly challenge submissions for an entire month! Not to mention you'll be able to put a really cool blinkie/badge on your personal blog so all your friends will know!

4. We will also be choosing three participants each week to receive our Top Three Blinkie/Badge to display on your own blog to share with all your visitors and friends!

So...how does that sound? Are you even more excited now than ever to get started on this week's challenge? Well, hopefully you can hold out just a little while longer because now it's time to start our BONUS FUN DAY...Stamptacular's Build-A-Card Blog Hop! Ready?
