Card Design: Limited Runs Progressive Challenge ... Sept./Oct.

Hey folks! I'm here today to post my card for last month's Progressive Challenge over at Limited Runs! I'm afraid my post is late as I was waiting on some info from Nikki who unfortunately was rather ill last week. I did however send my card to Nikki on time; so, thankfully I still qualify for the next image.

The Progressive Challenge is actually on Facebook (FB) in the Limited Runs Group and can be found HERE. You will need to join the group in order to access the information. Now thankfully, Nikki is willing to accept mailed in entries for those people like me who don't have FB accounts. You can find her email addy in the side bar of the store (click on the image above to head there). In fact, if you don't have a blog, that is okay too. Simply send a photo and she'll add you in.

Check out the fun image that we got to work with this past challenge...

If you'd like to purchase the Cactus image you can now find it for $2.00, its regular price, over in the Limited Runs Store on a special page that showcases all the Progressive Challenge images. Click HERE to head there now.
