2011 Challenge!!!!



Last year was VERY challenging, rewarding and inspiring! After all of the feedback we thought it would be awesome to start up a new challenge! I have been giving it a lot of thought and thought it would be great to have different ways to start up the challenge for 2011.

First of all I've got a few more projects that I am working on including putting together a project on last years challenge and on my recent vacation to Paris! :) Also I would really like to give my shop an honest shot of success. ;) I also thought more people would join in on the fun if they could see the flexibility!


The 2011 Challenge will start on January 3, 2011.
You need to sign up for a Blogger account :)

Send an e-mail to:


Let me know if you want to join the challenge to create something new for:
  1. the next 365 days
  2. the next 52 weeks (once a week)
  3. the next 12 months (once a month)
Include in your e-mail, your name or nickname, a link to your blog or shop, a picture of something that you have created.

We also have a
Flickr group that you can add your photos to. I also created a photo calendar on Shuttercal which is a great way to look back to see your creations!

Remember that this is not rigid!!! That is why it is a challenge :) None of us created something each and every day. However it is really awesome to look back and see all of the incredible things that were created!!!


This next year I (guurrrl) am challenging myself to create something new once a week for 52 weeks.

I can't wait to see what everyone makes!!!!
