Challenge 25 - Anything Halloween

Boo!!!!
Couldn't resist. :)
As you know we are big fans of all things spooky and cute here at Tiddly Inks, so this week in preparation for the bestest holiday of all time (yup, I mean it! LOL), our theme is Anything  Halloween.  
Please use a Tiddly Inks image and create anything halloweeny....you can participate either way, but prizes only go to those using a TI image. Link below by Oct 18 at 10 PM CST.

I will be announcing changes and additions to the DT later this week, but I wanted very much to thank each of you who played along. We saw so many amazing participants throughout the month and I want to invite you to stay and keep playing along even if nothing is up for grabs except a gift voucher. :) It is always a pleasure to see such lovely work.

Now take a spooky peek at our inspiration.  :)

Winners from Challenge 20

Hi everyone. :) Well, another very tough week of choosing from an incredible list of very talented cards....so glad I don't have to do it. :) I just get to tally the votes. LOL

Soooo....there is going to be a bit of change coming our way. For the next month, our design team is submitting a list with their top 5 cards so that we can create a pool of candidates for a few spots on the DT, but those are NOT going to be published. I can assure you that this is a very difficult decision---would ya'll quit making such beautiful cards???? LOL Just kidding. :)

So that means that I won't be publishing the Top 3 cards for the next few weeks, but we will instead have two random winners---one $10 and one $5 gift voucher.

Okay, I can hear all of you yelling at me through the screen....LOL Please don't!!! :) It is hurting my ears. :) I am sorry for the suspenseful month, but I can't see another way to keep it neutral---we want a good sampling of each person's work and participation.

At the end of the month, I will provide the appropriate badges from each week for this month. I am keeping a master list. :)

So please don't send me any hate mail...LOL Just come back next week and play along just because you want to and enjoy our company. :) We certainly love your seriously wonderful cards and great attitudes. :)

Random Winners (using random.org)
$10 gift voucher goes to #16 - Melissa
$5 gift voucher goes to #32 - Kristyn
