Challenge #11 - 3D

Welcome to another fun challenge - yes, it's Phindy's Place Friday Challenge and this week your challenge is to use something 3D on your card or project, and of course use a Phindy's Place image. You can do something as simple as adding some decoupage or flowers or a button, or you can create a 3d project, can't wait to see the entries for this one! I have to say that the DT has really outdone itself this week, but to get the full picture please be sure to check out their blogs where you can get the detail of their amazing 3D projects.

Sadly Cindy has had to step down from the DT, we wish you well for the future Cindy and thanks for all the fabulous inspiration you've provided for the blog.

Also there are a couple of changes to note: after much heart searching we've changed the challenge rules slightly to limit the number of entries per person per week to 3 :). The winner of Pick of the Week now gets a 20% discount coupon for Phindy's store, thank you very much to Phindy for increasing the prize for this!

That means the prizes you can win go like this: the winner of the Challenge will be chosen by Random.org and will receive an $8 Gift Certificate to Phindy's Place store. The Pick of the Week wins a 20% off voucher for Phindy's Place store. Once a month we will choose an overall winner from the weekly winners and they will be offered a Guest position on the DT - and of course a free image from Phindy's Place to use for that week's challenge!

OK that's it from me, now sit back and enjoy the wonderful 3D projects from the DT!
