Challenge #24 My Favorite Season

Welcome to our 24th challenge here at Aurora Wings, our first for our new Stella Team, and the beginning of our twice monthly format.  The Stella Team will inspire you the first Monday of each month, while the Aurora Team will continue on the third Monday.  Stay tuned for twice the prizes and twice the fun each month!

March is a transition month, the beginning of Spring for the northern hemisphere, Autumn for the southern, but no matter where you live, we'll bet you have a favorite season.  So welcome to our new challenge...

PLEASE REMEMBER OUR RULES.  It breaks my heart when I have to delete a gorgeous creation for lack of compliance, but because we have a random winner, that's the only fair thing to do.  Those using an AURORA WINGS IMAGE may enter up to THREE times, but those using a stamp from another company may only enter ONCE.  ALL creations must have a hand colored digital or rubber stamp to be eligible.

Our prizes each month will include:

1 (one) Artist's Choice Award Winner to be selected from entries using Aurora Wings digis ($20 GC and Badge)

1 (one) Random Winner ($20 GC)

Top 3 Winners to be chosen by the DT ($10 GC and Badge)

Now, here's some fabulous inspiration from the Stella Team.

Marion ( Spring) using Mama It's So Fluffy

Julie (Spring) using Clover Pixie Shamrock Elf

Sara (Summer) using Orchids in the Rain

Cristena (Summer) using Happy Little Mermaid and Dolphin Boy

RoRa (Autumn) using Viridis Incendia

Wendy (Autumn) using Elf with Autumn Leaves

And joining in from the Aurora Team 

Donna (Autumn) using Harvest Elf

Lorraine   (Spring) using  Orchids in the Rain 

The challenge will be open at 9:00 am EST Monday March 7th and close at 11:55 pm Saturday March 19th 2016. Entries posted prior to March 7th will be deleted. All entries must have a hand colored digital or rubber stamp on their completed project to be eligible. Please follow the chosen theme. ONE entry per person if not using an Aurora Wings image.  You may enter your project in as many other challenges as desired. Please link to your POST address, NOT your BLOG address and link back to the Aurora Wings Challenge Blog. We would greatly appreciate you removing word verification and switching to comment moderation if you fear spam. In fairness to all, those not following the rules will be deleted. Thank you for your understanding and please have fun. We look forward to your fabulous creations.

Also, because of the difficulties we have experienced with Facebook entries, I regret that we will no longer be accepting them on the Challenge Blog.  I'm so sorry, but we do have a new Facebook challenge coming soon on our Facebook Group page, so you are welcome to post your appropriate entries there through March 31st.  Thank you for your understanding. 

However, if you do not have a blog and would still like to enter this challenge,  please email me at donnamundinger(at)gmail(dot)com with your name, a picture of your entry and Aurora Wings Challenge #24 in the subject line, and I will add it to the Linky so you can participate. Hopefully this will accommodate everyone.  xx
