April 2015 Washi Challenge - WINNERS

mgehrke · Sun Apr 05, 2015 3:01 pm

WOW!!!!! You Cherries really impressed me. Not just the entire year, but with this challenge as well. All of the submission were amazing. So for the moment you've been waiting for.........using Random. org, the winner of a $5 GC is........#23 1scrappymom. Also for a new roll of Washi tape I just have to give this to MacSarah. She did all 12 challenges on ONE page. PM me your address and I will get that out to you.

Hey There Cherries - did you all know that this month marks the 1 year anniversary of the Washi Challenge? WOW!!!!!! I would like to take this time to thank each and every Cherry for making this challenge a success. I am overwhelmed at how many Cherries do this challenge each month and also how many Cherries have started to "Collect" Washi Tape now. THANK YOU CHERRIES

you all make me proud.

What I would like to do this month, is to take you down memory lane. Let's take a look back at all of the challenges we had. I have listed them all below for your convienance so you won't have to go searching for all of them. This month's challenge is to pick your favorite month's challenge and do it again. Easy right? Well of course it is. The Queen of Washi would never ever put a twist on the Washi Challenge. But I would open it up for bonus entries. The way to earn bonus entries, is to combine any or all the Washi challenges into your 1 LO. Yep that's right, your 1 LO can earn you up to 12 entries. So for this month, I won't have an example, because quite frankly I don't have one to show

For Paper, Digi, Hybrid Scrappers and Card Makers.
Post to this thread by midnight April 30- CST.
Multiply entries allowed.
I will randomly choose a winner for a $5 ACOT Gift Certificate.
May not be combined with any other challenges (let's let that Washi be the star).
Please have fun with this. There is no right or wrong way to use Washi Tape.

I hope to get to do this challenge this month!

Oooohhh! 12 entries in one!? Now that sounds like a CHALLENGE!!

Will have to go looking back at all the challenges--congrats on the 1 year anniversary! Time flies when you're sticking down the washi, lol!

Craftyshannon · Mon Apr 06, 2015 7:51 am

There are a few I wanted to try, but didn't got done in time so this is perfect.

Yankeegirl · Mon Apr 06, 2015 11:05 am

Wonderful way to give us a chance for a 'do-over'-----or to do one we missed! Thanks, Mildred!

This is awesome Mildred!

need2scrap · Mon Apr 06, 2015 7:50 pm

Mildred, you're awesome!! I have loved to watch the growth of washi through your challenge. Although I have been MIA for quite a while, I have saved off a lot of these challenges to do on my own. I love this months challenge!

Always Amy · Mon Apr 06, 2015 8:39 pm

Love all these cool ideas!

Christi S. · Tue Apr 07, 2015 7:40 pm

This sounds great!!!!

Shutterbug · Tue Apr 07, 2015 9:48 pm

This is a cool Idea. BUT, I am ready to have a heart attack! Ok. overwhelmed. I think I had better tell my DH I need to double my washi stash to do this!

A woman always needs new Washi any way she can get it right?

Yes Yes Yes!!!! The more Washi tape a woman has the happier she will be

beachlover · Wed Apr 08, 2015 12:12 pm

very, very cool! and I finally have a decent amount of washi, I should be able to do something with it

Christi S. · Wed Apr 08, 2015 6:08 pm

Ok.... so here goes! I challenged myself to do each challenge in a card - to make a cohesive "set" of cards that I can give as a gift. I wanted the colors and the mood of each to be similar in all of the cards so that they look like they belong. And, Mildred.... you DID say we could do multiple entries...

April, 2014 - I think this is the only one in the past year that I didn't enter - because I had just joined and didn't really even know what washi WAS.... ha!

Divide the card in half with washi:

May 2014 - Use more than one kind of washi and put it diagonally on the page:

June: Use washi as a frame:

July: Use the sketch provided (I turned mine upside down)

August: Use a little washi here or there and tear it

September: Use washi like ribbon:

October: put strips of washi on paper and cut out into waves and embellish

November: Use washi to mat a photo (or sentiment lol)

December: Frame the page

January: Use washi on corners:

February Stitch your washi

March : Use washi to make banners

And one for good measure: (I made it for the Oct 2014 challenge but then I wasn't sure that I did it to the challenge, so I did another one.)

Whew! All 12 months! 13 entries! Whoop!

Thanks for looking

Wowser Christi - you've been busy and look at all those beautiful cards. I love them all. Now you'll have to replenish your Washi stash. Thank you for doing my challenge again and again and again. Lol
