Embracing Your Gesso Dragon

Wow! What amazing work people! I am just so in awe of the response to my little challenge blog! Yippee!!

Mr. Linky wasn't very cooperative, so I will be checking out other options. I will be back to include the link language in a bit. You can always add your project in the comments to be included in the drawing.

This week, I've done a little tutorial video for you that explains and demonstrates your challenge. This video shows you the prize for this week's challenge, and also identifies the winner at the very end. It's my first video, so I promise I will get better!



Congrats to the winner!! Remember to post your link here when you're ready so you can be eligible for the prize drawing (deadline Saturday, August 14, 11:59 p.m. Central time). Enjoy and have a creative week!

  6. I tried to use the link widget, but I don't think it worked. I uploaded this week's challenge spread to my fb, so let me know if there is anyone who can't see it!
