We’re so excited to announce the 3rd annual Ucreate awards!
We’re passionate about every single tutorial featured on Ucreate, Ucreate w/Kids, and Ucreate Parties!
Can you believe we’ve featured over 1,400 tutorials in 2011? Me either….so you can probably imagine the work that goes into picking our top ten each year (thank you Google Analytics!).
We can’t announce awards without prizes right? We would love to give away thousands of prizes to all of you, however I’m just not Oprah so we have to narrow it down to ten!
All top ten winners will each receive a $20 gift certificate to the craft store of their choice…
…and our tutorial of the year winner will also receive…
…their very own Silhouette CAMEO machine and a fabric ink starter kit!
Let’s get this party started…
