EIC Birthday Bash: schedule, rules, and mush from me

Today is the big day! I feel like a proud mama on her baby's birthday. Thanks for joining us! It's gonna be a fun day!!

Schedule:
BLOG HOP: The blog hop officially starts at 7am Pacific time. Make sure to leave comments on each blog since I will be picking a blog and a commenter using Random.Org once the whole thing is all over. You have until Friday Sept 11 noon Pacific time to finish the blog hop. I will draw the winner after that for the Scor-Pal, Scor-Mat, Scor-Bug, and Scor-Tool.

PARTY: The party will be on our Paper Craft Planet group from 11am-2pm Pacific time. There will be games, a challenge, awards given out to players (with prizes), chatting, and more prizes!

Rules:
~To win the grand prize (SCOR-PAL prize pack) you MUST do the blog hop and challenge. It's a big prize, so I'm requiring both. One winner will be drawn from ALL the comments left on the blogs randomly to win.
~To win the gift certificate from Softpencil, you only have to play the challenge. Please link your challenge card to the EtsyInspired Challenge blog.
~Somewhere along the blog hop, there's a prize from AiFactory to be won. Leave comments everywhere!

A Letter From Me:
I'm just super excited to be here. I know that some challenges and blogs come and go so I'm so happy that we pushed through and made it for to this point. What started off as a little idea has really blossomed into a nice challenge that's one of a kind, art inspiring art. I love it! I have to thank everyone that helped me along the way!

I have the world's BEST design team! They support me 100%. They have been a guiding force for me. I could not have done it without them. Especially Tiffany who has been there since the VERY beginning. She's been with me since day one. She's the first person I asked to be on the team and she's never going to be allowed to leave. Big thank you to my DT Coordinator Kerry who took over for me when I was on maternity leave, writing all the million blog posts and keeping the PCP board going. My Special Event Coordinator De who has done everything in the whole world to help our challenge from making blinkies to getting sponsors. She's like an extension of myself. Everyone should be so lucky to have a De! The rest of my team are absolutely amazing, all the previous designers and the guest designers. They are like family to me. I adore each and every one of them and I'm so lucky to have such amazing talent on my team.

Thank you soooo much to all the players! We could not be here without you! Having a challenge blog would be silly with no players and we have the BEST players! People who have been so dedicated and supported us. I adore each and every one of you! It truly means A LOT that you take the time out of your day to play our challenge.

Also, thank you to all our sponsors who have helped us along the way. Thanks for believing in our challenge enough to give us prizes and advertise our challenge! You are the best!

Here's to another great year and many more!
