First Wednesday Anything Goes

Happy first Wednesday of the month Fireflies!!!! Let me begin by thanking everyone for playing along with all of the fireflies on our Tic-Tac-Toe challenge!  It was so much fun!  The winner (via random.org) is: Karen Nofziger

You have won the 10 pack of Martha Stewart Punches  

(Please email fireflyscrafts@gmail.com to claim your prize, 

you have one week from today to claim.)
Just look at her awesome card!

Now on to the next challenge!...

Our challenge is meant to inspire, not require, so there are very few rules.  Those rules are as follows:

1.  You MUST use a stamp or Die (or some other main component of your project) that can be found in our shop.

2. You MUST upload a photo of your creation to the proper album on our Facebook Page before Midnight EST.

3. Have Fun!!!!

The winner of each challenge will be announced when we announce our new challenge.  Each month we will have a different prize or gift card from our store. The winner will be chosen via Random.org. Good luck to all of you Fireflies! 

*** Important update: There will be 2 challenges a month going forward: the 1st Wednesday of the month will be  an "Anything Goes" challenge, and the third Wednesday of each month will be a "Theme" or "Technique" type challenge. ***

So, without further adieu, here is the FireFly Crafts challenge:

This challenge is: Anything Goes!
