Happy Monday and a Few Small Changes...

Hope a lot of you are enjoying an extra day off for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It's still a bit chilly and snowy here in Ohio which makes for perfect crafting weather.

I wanted to let you know of a few small changes here at the TSB Challenge Blog. The team is really hoping you like them. :-)

First, starting February 7th we will begin having WEEKLY challenges. Our challenges will be posted every Friday. There will be 2 teams so you will be getting lots of inspiration throughout the month and hopefully having fun playing along!!

Second, we are going to go to a random draw to pick our winner. The prize will be 2 free TSB digi images of your choice and you receive a 3rd if you used a TSB image on your winning entry.

Finally, we want to keep you inspired more often so there will be DT projects shared throughout the week. I want to start sharing our customers creations as well. There are so many talented ladies using TSB images on their creations and we want to share them with everyone!!!

Have a great week!!
Melissa
