Stencil Sunday #78 + January Mixed Media Challenge

Welcome to another edition of Stencil Sunday with the STAMPlorations girls in the mixed media design team. So...it's the first Sunday of the month, (well it's the second actually but we had a little holiday) which means it's time for a new Mixed Media Challenge!

Thank you to everyone who linked up to the December Mixed Media Challenge! We'll announce the winner and top picks on Tuesday, January 10, together with all of last month's challenge and blog hop winners.

We're tweaking our challenges this year. We've updated the Challenge Rules and Guidelines page to reflect these changes so please check out that page so you don't miss out (especially on the prizes).

And speaking of prizes, starting this month, one winner (voted by the design team) will receive a $10 gift certificate to the store, while the two top picks will each receive a $5 gift certificate. If there are at least 25 entries, we'll also draw a random winner and she gets to choose any 2 standard size stencils.

And last, all Mixed Media challenge players get a chance to win a $25 gift certificate -- we will randomly draw this winner from all the entries from 4 challenges (CAS Card, Theme & Sketch, CUTplorations, and this challenge) so the more you play, the better your odds are at scoring some spending money.

So let's get on with the program. Check out the girls' awesome mixed media projects this month.

An InLinkz Link-up

A gentle reminder: This is a non-card mixed media challenge, so please don't link up cards (we've got other challenges where you can enter your cards). You must use a stencil (or stencils) -- any brand or a homemade one -- in your project(s). If it's not obvious to us that you used a stencil, your entry may be deleted. Also, you must display the challenge graphic in your blog post; otherwise, your entry will not be eligible for the prizes.
