KCB has lost her mind!

[emmasmommy]

So, I'm sure you've seen the announcement that Kristin's 30th birthday is this weekend, and that we're all having various little giveaways/contests throughout the week, right? well, miss Kristin has flat out lost her mind. she's decided that the winner of this week long contest will win a month long guest spot on her team!!! Is that not the best prize, EVER?

here's the dealio...
you need to create a layout with either 30 flower OR 30 buttons. it can not be a mixture of both, you have to have 30 flowers OR 30 buttons. you can incorporate anything else that you want in the layout but you have to use all kcb products. collab's are allowed but only if you use kristin's stuff. Templates will not be allowed because it would be something other than kristin's designs.

you will have until Friday night to submit your entries to the contest and the winners will be announced Monday morning!

in case you're looking for some inspiration, i of course have some from our WONDERFUL CT ladies.

[strawberryredhead]

30 flowers or buttons is INSANE!!!! But totally worth the prize!! I'll be playing!

[junebug]

[laurabobaura]

i love me a challenge :)

[KateD]

This will be a real challenge!! Love it & the prize is definitely worth it!!!

[MamaBee]

Oh my gosh... what a dream spot!!! Now the hardest part is to figure out which kit to use!! ;)

[DeepGirl]

you can incorporate anything else that you want in the layout but you have to use all kcb products. collab's are allowed but only if you use kristin's stuff.

Can we use template by other designer?

[MissKim]

Well, I worked up a quick one because I'm shameless and wanted to pass the time while waiting on my daughter's school bus. Hard to do 30 of anything and make it fit my style, but I tried.

[emmasmommy]

Can we use template by other designer?

i'm gonna say no on this. i'd like you to use exclusively kcb stuffs.

[rachaelsscraps]

I just had to play along!!! :) Here's mine (with 30 buttons!)

[Lauramarie]

The first one has flowers and buttons???!!! Ok so either 30 flowers or 30 buttons and anything else from KCB. I am all over this!

[kendallt]

Oh, what a FABULOUS opportunity! I'll probably wait until the last minute to submit mine 'cause I just can't stand the anticipation! :huh:

[emmasmommy]

you can use both, but i just need to be able to clearly find 30 flowers OR buttons. shannon used 30 flowers but threw some buttons in for good measure lol

I know the feeling! I'm also afraid that by the time I get mine posted it won't look very original :(

[emmasmommy]

just remember guys, it is supposed to be a challenge! ssd has such awesome talent, stuff like this is NEVER easy. everyone has as much as a chance as the next guy!

[Happy Now]

This is the first idea (https://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=152858&ppuser=9548) that came to my mind, though I was originally envisioning buttons (until I found this awesome photo)... Thanks! Best of luck to everyone -- I cannot wait to see what you come up with! :)

[KateD]

I think I counted 40 buttons that can be seen once I put my title on. I made it for the 9 product challenge, so this is a mix-and-match from 9 of Kristen's kits. (the elements from the collabs are Kristen's) This was a fun challenge!!

Happy Birthday, Kristen!
