It's a "Howdy" Challenge

Hi there! Liliana here and ready for another challenge week. Let me tell you that I am so excited today because this is my first challenge as a host. But first, I want to thank everyone who participated in last week's photo inspiration challenge, your cards were wonderful.

We also want to share some changes we are making here at Our Creative Corner.  We are changing the format for our guest designers and starting in October, we will be having Top Talent Thursdays.  Our challenge winners will be center stage on Top Talent Thursday.  We'll bring you a mini interview with them and they will be able to share a project of their choice with you.  How would you like to be part of this?  All you have to do is participate in our challenges and you never know - we may pick you as our Top Talent!

The other change we are making is that we are setting a limit on the number of challenges you can combine with your submission for our challenge.  The maximum allowed will now be three plus the OCC challenge.

For this week's challenge, I have another picture to inspire you, but this time we'll go to the country.

Here are the requirements:

-Create a card or project with a country or western look. Use the photo to inspire you.
-Your project must have something plaid or gingham (checkered/tartan is acceptable too!), such as in a ribbon, or designer paper.
-Most of all, have fun!

Here is some inspiration from our talented guest designer, Birgit, and from the design team! So, let's get creating and we look forward to seeing what you come up with!
