Creative home decor that could be worth $500!

I am LOVING the 7gypsies photo trays that everyone is talking about lately.  Have you seen them?  They’re available in three different sizes that you can fill with photos, embellishments, patterned paper, even ATC cards.   Once we saw a few decorated trays and thought of all the cool possibilities, we couldn’t wait to spread the word and what better way to do it than a contest?  We started with an employee contest to get tons of great ideas to share – check out some of my favorite entries!

This one is my personal favorite (designed by the staff at our Castleton, IN store) of all the entries from our 44 stores.  It’s even cooler in person, with tons of layered detail.

Here’s another favorite of mine designed by our Novi, MI store staff.  Aren’t the heritage photos just perfect with this tray design?  I’m adding this idea to my holiday to-do list to create a gift for my grandma and my mom.

This tray was the winning design from our employee contest, designed by our Overland Park, KS store staff.  LOVE those big blue eyes peeking through the frame!

Check out this adorable design from our Woodbury, MN store.  They painted the tray white which works perfect with their baby theme.  Darling!

Now that you’re inspired, here comes the fun part.  There’s a customer contest too!  Check out the contest details on our website and get going on your entry!  Once the entries are in, customers in each of our stores will vote, and we’ll award a $100 gift card to the chosen favorite from each store; that’s 44 $100 gift card winners!  Then, the 44 winners will be displayed during ScrapFest in September where a grand prize winner will be chosen to win $500 in cash!

Think about it this way:

Best case scenario, you design a tray and enter it into our contest and win a $100 Archiver’s gift card, $500 in cash, AND you end up with a beautiful piece of art to hang in your home.

Worst case scenario, you don’t win any prizes, but you still end up with a beautiful piece of original art to hang in your home.
