Announcing the 4th Annual Queen of Hearts Challenge

Announcing the 4th Annual Queen of Hearts Challenge!

 

This is our 4th annual Queen of Hearts Challenge and this year we have even more for you!  More opportunities to win!  Here are the details – want a quick summary? Scroll down!

As in previous years, we want you to make some artwork. Your artwork should have a love and/or Valentine theme.  It doesn’t have to include Quietfire stamps, but we’ll love you if you use them!). On February 14th, you will put a photo of your project on your site or photo hosting page (I’m not sure Facebook will work, so don’t put it there, please!), then you will come back to us and on our special Queen of Hearts blog page you will add the link back to your submission.  Easy peasy!  Don’t worry, we’ll remind you more of this soon.

So what happens next?  Prizes, of course.  This year there will be more than ever!

But first.  The Quietfire Designers are having a Queen of Hearts Blog Hop leading up to Valentine’s Day.  Beginning on February 9 and every day till Feb 14, one (or more!) of our designers will be posting on their personal blogs. We’ll be giving you the schedule soon. You’re going to want it, because when you comment on their Queen of Hearts blog post, you’ll be entered in a random draw to win $25 worth of Quietfire stamps.

But the big prizes come when you do the work!  From the February 14 submissions, there will be more than one opportunity to win.

1.       There will be a random draw for $75 worth of Quietfire rubber stamps.

2.       There will be voting on your favourite submission.  So fire up your friends to come and vote for your submission. We’ll give you a few days after the 14th for voting.  The winner with the highest number of votes will also win $75 worth of rubber stamps.

3.       A prize  of $75 worth of Quietfire rubber stamps given to the judges choice, so show us what you’re made of!  Impress us!

So start planning your artwork!  More about the Queen of Hearts Blog Hop coming soon.
