{OCTOBER WINNERS}


Hey, guys! We've got last month's winners to announce. We also have the winners of our Never-Ending Anything Goes Challenge and October Inspiration Projects, as well as winners of our special posts -- ARTplorations Stencil Hop, Wonderful Wednesday Coloring #7and #8, Christmas Baubles Release Hop, Extra Holiday Stamps special post, Gratitude-Themed Stamps and Dies special post, and CUTplorations Christmas Release Hop :o) Challenge winners were voted by the design team members, while all other winners were randomly chosen by Random.org.

An important reminder to challenge players: Please make sure that you display the challenge graphic AND link back to the challenge post (NOT the main blog or the challenge section) in your blog post in order to qualify for the prizes. If a player gets the most votes from the team but doesn't have the graphic and link back in her blog post, the next player with the most number of votes is declared the winner.

An important note about our winners post: winners (challenges, blog hops, and special posts) of the previous month are announced in one post (this one). All winners must claim their prizes by the deadline. If you are a regular player in our challenges or participant in our blog hops and special events, please consider following our blog, even signing up to receive email notifications when new posts are published. You'll find those links on the right side bar. 

Winners, please claim your prize on or before Saturday, November 24. Prizes not claimed by then will be forfeited -- no exceptions. Please understand that because we have a lot of winners and give away $100 to $200 worth of prizes in the form of products and gift certificates each month, it would take a lot of time to contact the winners individually. I also want to be fair to those who regularly visit our blog and claim their prizes within the time frame given.

When claiming your prize, send an email to stamplorations@gmail.com. Please follow this format in the subject line:
"STAMPlorations October Winner - specific challenge here"
e.g., "STAMPlorations October Winner - Theme & Sketch Challenge"

If you are the winner of a tangible/mailable prize, do include your complete mailing address in the email you send, even if I already have mailed to you before. (It saves me time having to look up your address.)
