One of the things that people love most about this hobby is gaining new inspiration.  We have taken it
upon ourselves to organize an evening to take place once a month that will  encourage stampers to try
new things and build an inspirational camaraderie within the Papertrey family!
All of our customers who enjoy sharing inspiration & artwork with their peers through their
personal blogs.
The actual Blog Hop will take place on the 25th of each month beginning @ 8pm EST.
You will explore individual blogs through the list provided on the 25th.  People will also be
encouraged to discuss things they have learned & what inspired them in the Blog Hop
designated area of our Customer Forum that night.
An evening dedicated to seeking inspiration through projects utilizing Papertrey Ink products.
Participating bloggers agree to post their project no earlier than 5pm EST and no later than 7:55pm
EST on June 25th.
What if I don't have a blog and I want to participate in the challenge?
There are several free blog services available in which you could establish your very own blog! Do
a simple google search for  "free blogs" to investigate which service would be best for you & your
needs.  If you do not wish to set up a blog, you are more than welcome to post your challenge
project in our gallery during the evening of the Blog Hop and share it with all of our visitors that
evening.
June Blog Hop

Summer is FULL of so many wonderful colors, sights & sounds!  This month your challenge is to get
inspired by the lazy days of summer and reflect your inspiration in a project of your choice!  Whether it
be the colors in your favorite summer treats, the pattern on your bathing suit & beach towel or even the
texture of the sand between your toes, use any or all of these things as a springboard for your design.  
Please be sure to share an image found online, in a magazine or a photo you have taken yourself that
communicates your point of inspiration within the body of your blog post!  With everyone's amazing
contributions, this ought to be one of the most colorful Blog Hops yet!  We look forward to seeing you
there!
Important Blog Post Requirements:
Why are you focusing on blogs, why not just utilize your gallery?
An artist's personal blog allows them the space to show you a tutorial or a sequence of photos to
describe in detail the unique aspects of their projects.  It also affords them the ability to add
commentary and lead you through their process.  In addition, we are hoping that everyone will find
a kindred spirit or two that they identify with.  Someone that they will be able to visit more often than
just Blog Hop night to gain inspiration from on a daily basis!
Prizes will be issued and fun will be had by all who participate!
A thread will be started on Blog Hop night where all individuals will be able to post a link to their        
personal blog posts displaying their challenge results.
Participants will agree to share a project on their blog meeting challenge requirements.
Customers have until the 25th to prepare their entries.
A challenge will be issued once a month during the new release on the 15th.
We hope you are as excited about this event as we are!  We look forward to seeing you on the 25th!!!
