Deletecan we link off the paper creations?
ReplyDeleteSo sorry I am late replying to you Mugdha. If you mean are you able to use your own paper flowers on your card then yes you are ;)
DeleteI am so happy to have found you. I love flowers and often thought why there was not more challenges with flowers. Thank you
ReplyDeleteWe look forward to seeing your cards Shirley ;)Viv DT xx

ReplyDeleteSorry I missed replying earlier, thank you for the comments Gail x
DeleteHi team,
ReplyDeleteCan I enter the cards I post here in some other challenges as well?
Yes you can enter up to 6 other challeges as well as our own....see rule no9 above. HTH ;) Viv DT
DeleteHi I'd love to enter your challenges but I don't know what a cue card is! Also I've never uploaded a photo to Flickr to share to a challenge. Would you mind if I took a photo and just upload it to your challenge to see if I can work it out? Obviously I will delete it when I've sussed it all out lol. Xx
ReplyDeleteAndrea a cue card is our little square box with the name and number of the challenge on. We have it on every new challenge, it's the theme of the challenge really ;)
DeleteIf you have any trouble adding your card email me and I will add it for you (viv@hodgey.com).Yes try and see if you can do it anyway ;)
Yes of course a cue card is your challenge card....durrrrrrrr 😂😂. Thank you for replying. I will try and enter this month then. Have a good week Viv. X X
DeleteJust wanted to check so you need a blog to participate?
ReplyDeleteHi Natasha, no you don't need a blog to join in...see rule No9 ;)Vivx
DeleteI’m trying to understand rule 9 which says you can enter up to 6 other challenges only? Does that mean if I participate in challenges on this site from January to June I won’t be able to participate for the rest of the year? Sorry I am a newbie to challenges and haven’t the faintest idea how they work but would love to participate!
ReplyDeleteHi Priyanka, no it means if you enter any of our challenges you can enter 6 others at the same time. This applies to each month you take part. So every month you can enter ours and 6 others. Hope that's clearer Viv x
DeleteHi! Do projects have to be cards?
ReplyDeleteHi PNagin, most are cards but we accept other projects as long as the main image are flowers.
DeleteI recently posted a floral card 4 days ago (the 15th) on IG. Can I enter it in this challenge even though it has already been posted?
ReplyDeleteYes you can Jill, as long as your card is posted here after our challenge goes live on the 4th of any month and you have only posted in 6 other challenges anywhere else. 😀 Viv x
DeleteCan I delete an entry where the photo is wrong?
