Design Challenge #1 - March 2012 (a little early)
Welcome to the very first Design Challenge on MouseScrappers!!! "Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things…and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” –Walt Disney In this challenge, everyone gets to be a designer; every month you participate, you will receive the resulting design challenge collaboration kit (for that month) free of charge and help MouseScrappers in the process! This challenge is open to every MouseScrapper member regardless of prior design/scrapping experience. At the beginning of each month a color scheme will be posted and MouseScrapper members will have the entire month to create a collection of papers/elements with that color scheme. At the end of the month participating members will submit their items, which will be compiled and distributed as a collaboration kit to MS members who participated in the design challenge that month. The completed kit will then be added to the MouseScrapper store for anyone to purchase. All proceeds from the sale of the kit will be used to keep MouseScrappers running! Timeline: Since we are SUPER excited , we are starting March's challenge a little early. Paper/element submissions are due by March 23 (before 11:59 CST). The compiled kit will be distributed at the beginning of April. Starting in April the challenge will follow a slightly different timeline; the full instructions and the official timeline will be posted for the April challenge. Submission Guidelines:

This sounds very cool!
Should we post what we are creating here so that we don't end up with many multiples of the same type of elements? I am not a designer, but I did just create "puffy" hearts in all 6 colors and hearts with a heart cutout center for all colors (12 heart total). Is that okay? I will rename everything and get the TOU put together and hopefully PM you later tomorrow (already 1:30 AM here and I really need to get to bed-lol).

Great idea - I would love to have a go at this. I make a lot of things for my own use but I am no way a designer. Does anyone have a kit preview template I could use?
