WOW! Is it THAT time of the week already? I can’t believe how this week flew by, I had such a great time… as did the other Sunshine Girls checking out the amazing talent that is here on our little blog already! Thank you sooo much for your entries, and all of your wonderful comments… keep them coming ok? It’s why we do what we do! First order of business: our random drawing winner from the last Challenge… (drum roll please…)
Carrie!!

Carrie won a $10.00 GIFT CERTIFICATE to our dear Megs’ (or as you may know her as… THE Flergs… he he he!) store! Click HERE to check out Megs’ store and see what Carrie has to choose from! (Carrie, Megs is going to email you the code to use your Gift Certificate!)
NOW! On to Challenge #2!
It’s a bit different…it’s a color challenge! Here is your color swatch:

Simply right click and choose SAVE AS… (name the file whatever you’d like and choose desktop for the place to save it–because if you are ANYTHING like me…you will lose it otherwise) and then “sample” the colors for your layouts!
Then go create! And then POST a link to your layouts here in the comments section… (by the way, minds greater than mine have figured out a way to “glean” your email address from your post so there is NO need to post it publicly–and yes… we have refused to give Monica the passwords to the blog… you and your loved ones are safe from her, have no fear!). He he he, I LOVE tormenting Monica!
DON’T FORGET to post your layout before this week’s deadline of FRIDAY, April 4th NOON EST.
WHAT? What do you mean WHERE IS YOUR “GIFT FOR PLAYING”?? Really, isn’t the art of your photos and layouts gift ENOUGH? …No? …….Yeah, I didn’t think so… (sorry, Sunshine Girls… I tried!… these girls love free stuff tooo much!)
Okay, fine… TrishH (of Templates-n-More) and I (Shauna, from Pineapple Plantation Designs) will GENEROUSLY (and from the kindness of our own hearts… they didn’t make us or anything… well, Monica did make an ugly face with we balked a bit, but THAT hardly counts really!!!) donated Gift Certificates from our stores for 10 lucky, randomly drawn “artists” who post links to their layouts in the comments section! Remember no need to leave your email address… (we can’t stop Monica from coming here like the rest of you and reading the comments… she might get suspicious and she scares me a little). Just leave the links to your layouts and let us do the rest!
I can’t WAIT to see what you do with this challenge. Hmm…is it just me or does that pallet look suspiciously close to our Fabulous-if-you-haven’t-yet-seen-it-you-must-hurry-now-to-get-it MEGA KIT Walking on Sunshine?? WOW!
“Hey Trish! Having THAT kit, might make this challenge a SNAP!”
“What? I should tell the nice ladies where to get this ‘fierce’ kit?”
“Why certainly….I’d be happy to!” (insert cheesy salesperson voice here)
Seriously… check out our fabulous kit, okay?? He he he!
You can get it at:
But hurry! It’s ONLY available while supplies last!!
(ok, I’m sorry, that’s a lie… it’s just that THAT line always works on me!)
Have a great day ladies!!
