Here's a little bit about Conie:

Conie Fong is a self-taught artist residing in California, USA with
her husband, daughter, pet hamster and fishes.  In her early
childhood years, she was inspired by every kind of art and crafts.
She loved watching demonstrations by artists on the streets and
at festivals and spent most of her free time perusing arts and
crafts books in the library, drawing, crafting and experimenting
with her art supplies at home.  Conie first started sharing her art
with the world by selling ACEO reprints of her ACEO paintings of
fairies, mermaids, and kitty art on Ebay in 2010.  She was a full
time account manager for a University before becoming a full time
mom and part time artist.  She currently enjoys spending time with
her family traveling, exploring the outdoors, and designing
beautiful, cute, and magical art for craft and coloring lovers.

#488-Birthday Wishes- All Dressed Up

Hello and welcome back to Creative Knockouts!  

 

The winner of our last challenge (#486) did not claim their prize and because we are now bi weekly, I am behind on a 2nd chance winner but that person is entry #61-Andrea La Vigne.  Congratulations Andrea, please contact Kelly to claim your prize courtesy of Alex Syberia Designs!

Question for you.....would it work better if I chose a new winner mid challenge (which was my initial plan, but hasn't happened for one reason or another) if the first winner did not contact me in time?  I think a week is long enough to check back in all honesty and it takes 2 seconds to see if you're the winner, but feel that leaving it for the full 2 weeks kind of puts things really behind and draws it out for claiming prizes for the sponsor and such especially if it takes more than one re draw for the winner to claim their prize....would love your feedback so please feel free to send me an email or leave a comment with your suggestions! 

************************************************

So last challenge was super fun!  Such great entries in our Love is in the Air/Valentine's or a color challenge of  red/white and pink challenge!  Our fabulous sponsor was The Paper Shelter and one lucky person will be the winner of 3 images courtesy of The Paper Shelter.
