...Pajama Party 14th October - you're invited!


ED - Kate you can use anything you have that was not included in the most recent release as an 'older' set! :) hth!

Good morning folks, I'm a week late getting this up - been away at a stamping show in England! We have just time though, so you are cordially invited to a Pajama Party here on the WMS blog on the 14th October - you have a week to get making!

Just in case you have not been to a WMS PJ party before - the Pajama Party features a collection of Challenges - you make them up ahead of time and then post them to this blog on the night of the party - fancy?

This party, we're having 4 challenges:

1. Texturise it - Ok for this project - now listen carefully - we want you to make a project featuring embossed textures, BUT we want you to use something OTHER THAN embossing folders...one idea that springs to mind is to die cut a shape and use that to emboss your surface, or maybe you can run a lovely detaied die through with just the tan mat and see how that comes out and what you can do with it...I'm sure you all hava a million ideas for this one...lol!

 When to make: Make your project now so that you can be ready to post it to your blog/gallery on the night of the party.  
How do I link it up?: On the night of the party, post your project to your blog/gallery and post a direct link to it into the inlinkz tool on the blog post here on the WMS blog.Links for this challenge will remain open for 24 hours, so you will still have time to play on the night!

2. Snow is falling - Make a project featuring snow - you can either stamp a snowy scene, die cut a few snowflakes, add flock or glitter, any interpretation you like, but we must be able to recognise it as snow!
 When to make: Make your project now so that you can be ready to post it to your blog/gallery on the night of the party.  
How do I link it up?: On the night of the party, post your project to your blog/gallery and post a direct link to it into the inlinkz tool on the blog post here on the WMS blog.Links for this challenge will remain open for 24 hours, so you will still have time to play on the night!

3. Old Pajamas -  Make a project using any of your older Waltzingmouse Christmas sets - I'm going to ask some of the DT to play along with us, we're going to dig out our Yonder Star stamp sets!

4. Bedtime Story Sketch - Here is sketch no.7 - Go ahead and create now - and your card will be ready to link up when we open the PJ party on the 14th! Like the other challenges links for this challenge will remain open for 24 hours, so you will still have time to play on the night!

PJ Party Schedule:

The PJ party post and all challenge links will go live at 11:45pm on the 14th Oct
The PJ party winner will be announced at 11.45pm on the 15th Oct.

Rules - a little housekeeping!
• You don't have to use Waltzingmouse Stamps to play along, but it will make us especially happy if you do!
• You can enter each challenge as many times as you like, using separate cards and separate links, but you cannot enter any one card in more than one challenge!
• Links should take folks directly to the blog post/spot where we can see/comment on your challenge entry.
• Please mention our PJ party and challenge on your blog or gallery post(- you are welcome to grab the PJ logo or sketch graphic and add those to your blog if you like)

 • You do not need to enter every challenge, but the more entries you have the better change of winning the prize!

Prizes

We're changing up the format of the prizes a little - we will have one overall winner chosen at random from the 4 challenges. The prize winner will receive £30GBP store credit for Waltzingmouse Stamps.

Now please note - this is important - if the winning entry uses Waltzingmouse brand stamps or dies the prize will be doubled and the winner will get £60GBP (approx $98USD)!

Please note that projects using only free WMS products will not be eligible for the double prize - though you could still qualify for the £30GBP!

Right, off you pop and make something! See you on the 14th!

  1. Eeek I almost missed this announcement.
    Can I ask a question about the old pyjamas - do they have to be sets we've had for a long time or just old sets. I bought some of your older Christmas sets recently, which I'm itching to get creative with.
