DEAR DESIGN TEAM APPLICANTS

I'm sorry for not contacting anyone back yet on if you've made the Lollipop Girl DT or not. I am currently on vacation (till January 3) and will get to it as quickly as I possibly can before the New Year.  Thank you for your patience!  Happy Holidays everyone!

XYZ Challenge

This challenge is being held in honor of all of my Lollipop Girls. It's significant to our latest happenings in that......it's the ending of the alphabet and the ending of this DT term. XYZ....these are a few of the letters in the alphabet that get used less often......so I KNOW you already have lots of them to use from your stash!

Try to come up with an interesting way to use these characters in your next creation. All of them or just one of them. Here are some ideas.....You could change the word "Extreme" into X-treme or create something about your last visit to the Zoo maybe. There are lots of uses you can get out of these letters "x, y and z." Think of something and don't forget to link up your creations by December 31, 2010 to our Linky party above.

Submissions must be newly made between December 1-31st.  Here are some examples from the Lollipop Girls to get your creative juices flowing....

Superhero Challenge

For this challenge you don't necessarily have to create something around a superhero per se, but you can create something around someone you consider your hero in life. Give them the recognition they so deserve!

The Lollipop Girls are going to show you how...

KitKat a.k.a. Kate Blue declares herself her own superhero for all that she takes on.

Foreign Chocolate Correspondant a.k.a. Kimmy Jaster considers her very own parents her superhero's for all the heroic things they do.

Lil' Mint Mocha a.k.a. Maureen Kao considers Manny Pacquiao (boxer/politician) as her hero.  She loves that under that tough boxer image he can still smile and feel secure enough to show his softer side.

Suga Plum a.k.a. Tajanee White believes that she is her daughter's hero.

Lush Liquorice a.k.a. Jeanette Almgren thinks of her younger brother as a SUPER Dad!

And I, Cherry Lolita a.k.a. Lynnette Davis, thinks of my husband as my very own hero...because he is!

So who is your Superhero in life?  Or do you consider yourself your very own Superhero like some of the Lollipop Girls?  What does this challenge make YOU want to create?  Who should you thank for being such an inspirational part of your life?  Create anything you wish and link it up in the above linky area. DIRECT LINKS ONLY PLEASE!  Due date is Friday, December 31, 2010.
