Cut It Up Rules

Hello everyone!

Happy Thursday!

We wanted to take this time and remind everyone on the rules of the Cut It Up! challenge blog.

I know, rules are not very fun but we have to have them.

Here they are:

1. Must be a follower of the Cut It Up blog.

2. Project must include a die-cut** and follow the theme of the challenge.

3. Project must be new. No backlinking.

4. Only one project, per challenge, per person.

5. Project can be combined with other current challenges.

6. Challenges are open to everyone but unfortunately prizes are only available to U.S. and Canadian residents.

7. You must link up to Cut It Up in your blog post.

8. Please remember when linking up your project to link up to your post and not just your blog.

9. Have Fun :)

**For these challenges, a die-cut is anything made with a manual or an electronic die-cutting machine. (Spellbinders,Cricut, MFT dies, Shilouette, etc.). Store bought die-cuts are also acceptable.

Hand held punches and/or paper piecing DO NOT count as a die-cut
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask

Starting with Challenge #4, that starts tomorrow (10-19-12), any entries that do not follow these rules will be deleted. If you submit multiple times, only the first project submitted will be kept.

Thank you so much for your understanding on this matter.

We love seeing your projects and look forward to each new challenge

but we also want to keep it fair.
