NOTE: The Prize Pack will be awarded to one participant in each challenge. Valid only for products currently in stock (excludes products that are out of stock and expected to return and products that are not in house due to global shipping delays). We will award the prizes randomly, but to win, it must be evident you used the sketch we provided as inspiration to create a project using predominantly Creative Memories products. Prize winners will be announced on Thursday, Oct. 14, at noon CT.

So glad that you showed us how to use the Chalking Pen that we received in Secret Box #3!
Yes was wondering what to do for with the chalk pencil
Love the possibilities with the new Chalking Pen! So great that many of the secret box items make it to the line eventually, as well!
The videos are so helpful in how to use the new tools, like the chalk pen!
