Memory Box Challenge #116 You've got a Friend in Me (Friendship Cards)

February is here, and it is time for a new challenge.  Thank you to everyone who participated in our birthday challenge.  It is great to have new birthday card inspiration.

The winner of the blog badge was Becca Yahrling, who posted with Flickr. We loved her CAS design:

The random winner from the entries who won the prize pack was April W from her Stampwilly Designs blog.

Please contact me at [email protected] with your full name and US address to claim your prize.

Want to play along in this month's challenge?  The rules are simple - just create a project following the theme, use at least one Memory Box stamp or die on your project and link your entry to this blog post.  You can make a card, a scrapbook page, a home decor item, etc..  To encourage participants with various levels of stamping experience, one entry will be selected at random to win a prize. Enter as many times as you want, but your name will only be entered once into the random prize drawing.   In addition, the design team will select their favorite entry to  be highlighted on the Outside the Box blog and that designer will receive our winner badge to proudly display on their blog. 

You don't have to have a blog in order to participate.   You can upload your project to any online gallery and link it to this post.   In fairness to other players, we reserve the right to remove entries that do not use at least one Memory Box product.  You are also welcome to link your design to other challenges.  Feel free to grab our badge to post on your blog post or side bar.

Please note, because of issues with shipping internationally, only domestic entries will be eligible to be shipped prizes. We are so very sorry that we had to add this stipulation.

February is the month of Valentine's Day, and we are all about celebrating love and friendship.  In particular, we would love you to make a special card honoring a friend or friends in your life. It can be a Valentine or not. It could be a card of appreciation or a humorous card to let your friend know you are thinking of them. You can also design it with any friend in mind. It could be a spouse, a coworker, a former roommate, or even your best pet friend. There are so many good friends out there, and they all deserve to be celebrated.  All we ask is that your entry is friendship-themed and includes at least one Memory Box product. We are so excited to see your creations!

Here are some samples to help inspire you:

There are several ways for you to enter the contest:

1.)  Link your finished work below

2.)  Enter on Instagram by tagging your sketch project with the #mbchallenge116 hashtag

You have until the end of the day (EST) on Thursday, February 27th.   Don't forget, you have to use at least one Memory Box item on your entry and only domestic entries are eligible to be shipped prizes. 

You could win the friendship-themed items we used in the samples:
