It's 2011 and this is our 11th challenge so far to date. I'm hoping that this year we prosper in the name of all Nerds, Geeks and Dorks.
When we post our monthly challenges we hope that you are helping to spread the news about them (even if you aren't participating). Get the word out, help bring in more traffic and we'll continue on.
Here's a recap from our last challenge....
This is the collage photo we gave you for inspiration....
and here is the December challenge WINNER's creation....
SEVEN
It was a really hard choice choosing a WINNER because the other couple of entries were amazing as well.
Check them out....
So, I went with the creation that I thought did the best job drawing inspiration from the collage inspiration photo.
*Prizes are awarded only when there are at least 5 challenge entries. So make sure you spread the word and invite your nerdy friends over.
Onto our first challenge of the New Year....
Here is the JANUARY INSPIRATION PHOTO....
Take from it what you will (the colors, the patterns, the objects, etc.) and do what you do!
Remember, you do not need to create a collage yourself (that's old skool anyway)....just take inspiration from this one and create whatever it is you want.
To further inspire you, here are what the trusty Nerdy Girls created with this challenge in mind....
by the Victorious HeadMistress, Lynnette Davis
by Nerdy Girl, Leah L'orange
by Nerdy Girl, Alysse McDaniel
by Nerdy Girl, Ally Serrato

RULES (gotta have em')
There must be at least 5 challenge entries in order to win a prize. So, start spreading the news about this challenge. We want to see a competition!
Your creation must be linked up by Monday, January 31st for judging.
A voting poll will go up between 2/1/2011 and 2/6/2011. We invite everyone (even non participants) to come vote for their favorite January creation. A private voting party will be going on behind-the-scenes and the Nerdy Girls will be casting their votes too! On 2/7/2011 the January challenge winner (that the Nerdy Girls have decided upon) will be announced as the winner. If different from the public voters choice, the public voters choice will be given an Honorable Mention.
*International players welcomed but International winners must pay their own s&h.
Great News! We are on the lookout for a few Nerdy Girls to fill our extra Design Team spots. Interested? Being a NERD for N.V.S. is SUPER easy! I, the Headmistress, will give you the monthly inspiration collage early on and all you have to do is create something based off it every month. That's all! Inspire others to bring their nerdiness out of them and join our team of the nerdiest designers. The term will end in June 2011. To apply all you have to do is play along to our challenge this month (and possibly next). Link your creation up as usual and then leave a comment with your blog address and let us know you also want to be evaluated as a DT Member.

Love scrapbooking, but not in a ordinary, classic style - just my own style.

I just LOVE this blog, I'm so glad I found it, thanks to my friend. I love the concept!! I just published my layout for the challenge and hopefully you consider me as one of your new DT-members. Keep up the good work and I'll be back soon! :D
My blog address is: http://emscreativeside.blogspot.com I just started to also write in english so please scroll down if you want to read the english version in my posts. :)
Please delete thumbnail #9, as the link is wrong.
I'm interested in the DT.:)
I just linked mine- love the collage this month!
I'd love to be considered for the DT if you don't mind having an unabashed scraplifter on board. :) It seems I'm always lifting or using sketches.
Loved this... would be love to be considered for the design team.
Thanks in advance.
I just found this site and so played along with the challenge. Loved it, thanks! I did a 6x12 and so my thumbnail doesn't fit - is there a way to fix this?
I only recently found your site and love the concept! If you could please consider me for the DT, I'd be giddy. ;-)
I just added the scrapbook section to my blog a couple of weeks ago and still need to upload some of the layouts I did before adding that to the menu. Sorry my photos are sometimes blurry. I take them late at night when everyone is asleep, but will start taking them in daylight to get clear pics.

Thanks for the opportunity to apply!
antenucci, not sure if there's an easier way, but you could try taking another pic and then when you crop the photo, leave it as a square instead of the shape of your lo (or work w/your original if you have it saved).
I just recently found this fabulous challenge blog and I just LOVE it! I'm so glad I found it. It's a totally new concept and I'll be back many times. I've had a great time with the January collage and now I'll give it a try to be considered for one of the DT spots.
