Happy happy Friday to you once again! Isn't it so wonderful to have our lovely Fridays to look forward to? new releases, winners, and fun new challenges to spur our creativity?! Well this week is sure to please, so let's get started! so much news to share.....

We had so many of you take part again in our challenge this past time - thank you so much! and we know that your kindness from 'passing it on' truly brought smiles to the faces of those you shared with, and that is really what is most important. :) You are ALL tops in our eyes, but Mr. Blue Froggy random picker thingy selected the following fabby friends to grab the lovely 'Top 3' badge for your blogs!

1. Chris Olsen

Chris, please contact Claire at jellypark@live.co.uk with your choice of digital image from the Jellypark store

Next I need to share a wee bit of sad news with everyone - our lovely teamie Diane will be leaving us after this challenge. She has been a true papercrafting inspiration to all of us with her special style and amazing coloring skills. Diane, you will be missed by all of us here, but we are going to visit your blog ALL the time! :) Please be sure to stop by and wish her well in her future crafty endeavors!

On to the new challenge ~
Since Jellypark Friends Friday Challenges first began, over on the right sidebar there has been a lovely little rotating blinkie from a company called 'Design Seeds'. I don't know if any of you have ever checked it out before, but they have the most GORGEOUS color palettes under the sun! and each day brings several new ones! For this challenge, stop bythe Design Seeds blog and pick one as your color inspiration. Create a papercraft project using is color palette, post the palette you chose, and please be sure to do this last one - link to the Design Seeds blog. if you are anything like all of us on the DT, you'll end up getting so entranced by the beautiful selection, you won't want to leave their blog!

As always, you can use any images you would like, but Jellypark gets you an extra entry into the contest for Top 3. please link directly to your post and limit your entries to 2. have fun playing with the colors!

Now for some color inspiration from our Design Team. be sure to stop by their blogs to see the color palettes they used.

Pass it On Challenge

Before we announce our winners and tell you about the new challenge, I have to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who played along in our die cuts/punches challenge. We had record numbers of entries! Thank you so much for stopping by and showing us your wonderful papercraft projects! it was amazing to see how you used your die cuts and punches in such creative ways!

Our Top 3 winners, chosen at random by our friendly Mr. blue linky froggy thingy are:

1. Mona Eidhammer
2. Denise
3. Marjo

Congrats to each of you! Please grab the Top 3 winner's badge over on the right sidebar for your blog. Mona, please contact Claire at jellypark at live.co.uk with your choice of a digital image from the Jellypark store!

Also, this month we have Sara Moreno from Luminous in my Chaotic Dreams joining us as a Guest Designer. Please stop by her blog and give her a big Jellypark Friends welcome! :

Now on to the new challenge ~ the theme for this time period is 'Pass it On'. we would like to have you create a papercraft project that you will give to someone and then actually DO IT! :) it could be for a card fundraiser, a thinking of you card, a tag for a gift basket, a birthday gift bag, any kind of papercraft project that you give to someone else. in other words, you 'pass it on' to someone......

Please remember that we love to see lots of entries into our challenge, but we do ask you to limit your own to 2 projects per challenge period. this keeps it fair to everyone. we won't delete extra entries, but they won't count toward the drawing for a free digi image or the Top 3. also, please link your individual blog post and mention Jellypark Friends. thanks so much! we look forward to seeing what you make! also, why not mention who you are going to give your project to......
