Challenge 9 - Bleep, Bleep Boys and their Robots

Hi ya everyone....thanks for stopping by this week as we have an adorable challenge. :) Bleep, Bleep!

We are hoping you play along as we celebrate boys and their toys by using a Tiddly Inks robot stamp. If you don't have one, the freebie in the Tiddly Inks PCP group is an already colored image of a cute robot . :)

Our winners of the Going Gothic and Baby of Mine Challenges will be announced Wednesday, June 16. We have started something new this week and from here on out the DT is going to pick a Top 3 to receive a badge (we will no longer have open voting) and we will also have one random winner to receive a gift voucher.

We will honor the voting to pick the winner for the Going Gothic, but the DT will pick the top 3 for the Baby of Mine challenge. Should be fun! Be sure to stop back by tomorrow. :)

Okay, on to this week's challenge: Use a Tiddly Inks robot image and create a bleep-bleep excellent card. :)

Here is some amazing inspiration from our fabulous Tiddly Inkers:

New Challenge Winning/Placement Option

Thank you to each lady who contributed to our discussion on whether to vote or not to vote on our weekly challenges. Without fail, everyone suggested doing away with open voting. People had some good ideas, and after some discussion with the design team, we have new placement ideas for our weekly challenges.

Challenges are supposed to be fun and "challenging" as well as a method for sharing something we all love--crafting and carding. :) It takes a lot of time to develop a new project each week and I want to honor the commitment and talent of each person. Unfortunately, it isn't possible for each entry to win each week, but we have a good solution.

We will now have 2 placement levels in our weekly challenges.

1) The Design team will choose a Top 3 from the entries to receive a "I was a Tiddly Inks Top 3!" badge.

2) A random entry will be chosen to receive a $10 gift voucher to the Tiddly Inks store.

All Winners will be announced on Wednesdays, following the new challenge announcement.

We hope that this meets all the suggestions and that it most importantly will honor the talent and the dedication that so many of you have exhibited by faithfully participating in the challenges.

These new rules will be implemented starting with Challenge 9 on Tuesday. I hope you all continue to participate and I look forward to seeing your creations each week. We have some amazing talent posted here each week. Thank you for sharing and inspiring us all. :)

XOXO

Christy

To Vote or Not to Vote on the challenges?

Inlinkz offers a neato collection in which voters may vote for their favorite entries after a challenge is closed. We started playing with the voting option this week and it seems to work. :)

Now, the part you need to help us decide is IF we should have voting at all---do you want to do that or not? I have heard from both sides...saying, they like it and they don't like it, so chime in. I hope to hear from at least 50 of you so that we get a clear picture on whether or not we should consider using voting in the challenges.

If it is a split decision, maybe we will have both a random winner and a voting winner...I am open to doing whatever people would like the most. Don't forget to scroll down for the entry rules for Challenge 8 (Baby of Mine) and to vote (yes, we are sticking with it for now :D) for your favorite Going Goth card in Challenge 7.

Speak up and let us know what you like....:)

EDIT: Keep the opinions coming, but I am getting a general consensus that we should not continue with the open voting system....:) I am reading each comment and I will get with the DT and decide what needs to change. :)
