Challenge #12 - Sponsored by Candy Shoppe Designs

WOWEE!  We challenged you all to bring it and you sure brought it!

You ladies out there are seriously talented and you've made the deciding factor extremely hard!

As you know, there are only a few empty spots on our team of designers and a decision's been made for 1 lucky WINNER so far but to give a recap first....here's the collage we asked you to gather inspiration from in January:

We loved all of your entries but here are some of our absolute faves from the bunch that we received:

by Marja

by Moody Girl

by Peg

 

by MrsPolkaDot

by Jennifer

and....

by JediFlame

The January prize WINNER that we'd also like to bring on as a lucky NERDY GIRL is....

Emmeli Steinwall.  She created this gorgeous work of art by taking inspiration from our January collage....

Emmeli - We Nerdy Girls would like to invite you on to our team if you are still interested that is.  For all you other Envious Followers....DON'T GIVE UP!  We still have 2 more spots to fill.  Show us more of what you got by taking inspiration from this February collage 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.

Here's what our Nerdy Girls were inspired to create:

NERDY GIRL DESIGN TEAM CALL

Dear Envious Followers, we are holding a Nerdy Girl Design Team Call.  We need a couple more NERDS to join our team. 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.

Challenge #11 - Sponsored by Candy Shoppe Designs

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....

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.
