It was such a pleasure to be a project leader in the #CanYouTopThis Challenge.  Thanks to each participant who created a project with an Elmer’s Tri-Fold display board.   You are all so creative and it was difficult to pick the winners.  The three winners will receive a $100 Walmart gift card. 

Without further ado, the three winners are:

• Katie @ A List Maker’s Life
• Wendi                 
• Sara                       

Congratulations! I will contact each of you via email with instructions on how to claim your gift card.

I want YOU to do an Elmer’s Tri-Fold board project so you can win one of (3) $100 WalMart gift cards! It doesn’t have to be as elaborate as mine.  Pick something family-friendly and do a craft project with your kids over the holiday break! You have until January 5 to get entered.  Submit your project and get all the details HERE.

Creative inspiration:

1. Kid’s household chore chart – use an Elmer’s tri-fold display board with gridlines and Elmer’s foam letters and numbers.

2. Wall art – cut the Elmer’s tri-fold foam board into squares and cover them with wrapping paper, ribbons, and bows for the holidays. You could also cut out kids’ names or initials and cover with paint, fabric, and glitter.

3. Refrigerator magnets – cut the Elmer’s tri-fold foam board into desired shapes and themes, decorate with embellishments and glitter, glue a magnet on the back

4. Memo board - cover the Elmer’s tri-fold foam board in fabric or paper. Criss-cross ribbons over the board or simply use for your collection of sticky-note reminders (am I the only one that’s OCD enough to still love sticky notes in 2010?)

5. (what’s your idea??)

Good luck!  Please tell your friends :)

Have you been giving away the FREE $10 Restaurant.com gift certificates I explained here?  WHY NOT?? You can give up to 40 per day, but only one per recipient.  Since you’re the BESTEST readers ever, I’m going to give them to YOU to get you started.  Just promise me you’ll pay it forward, ok?

How it works:

1.  I’ll send FREE $10 gift certs to the first 10 commenters EVERY day through the end of the promotion on December 31, 2010.

2.  If you aren’t one of the first 10 today, come back and comment on tomorrow’s post.  You may only receive one gift certificate, but please tell your friends! The more people participating, the more gift certificates we can give each other FREE.

3.  Comment with a valid email address to claim your gift certificate from restaurant.com

Ready? Set. Go!
