Challenge #9

First let's announce the WINNERS and HONORABLE MENTIONS for our JULY and OCTOBER challenges. 

In JULY, this was the inspirational collage that was given out:

The public voted and valechula is our JULY WINNER.  She came in with 50% of the public votes.

Here is her take to the collage:

Our HONORABLE MENTION is: 

Leigh, who came in with 21% of the public votes.  Here's her take:

Valechula, please email us your mailing address so that we can mail off your prize.

In OCTOBER, this was the inspirational collage that was given out:

The public voted and Kate is our OCTOBER WINNER.  She came in with 45% of the public votes.

Here is her take to the collage: 

We have a tie for our HONORABLE MENTION(S) as both of these ladies came in with 13% of the public votes for each of these takes to the collage.

Here's Pink Heather's take: 

And here's two of tarasmith's takes: 

Kate, please email us your mailing address so that we can pass it on to our sponsor.

p.s. International Winners are responsible for their own s&h.

p.p.s. The Nerdy Girls DID NOT turn in any of their private votes, which is why we stuck to the public votes this round.

Onto CHALLENGE #9

We've been calling it "The Simple Plan."

As always, take from it what you will (the colors, the patterns, the objects, etc.) and do what you do!

Remember, you DO NOT have 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 collage in mind...

*Please note that the Nerdy Girls will have their own voting session behind-the-scenes and if they pick a different winner than the public, the public's choice will be announced as Honorable Mentions.

Winners/Honorable Mentions will be announced on November 6, 2010.  Good Luck!
