Updated to add EFink.

You're welcome.  I figure since I'm making a list for myself, I might as well share it.

Thank you, Sarah.  I always save these so I can quickly find the challenges long after the event is over.  They serve as an annotated table of contents for me.

After reading what was written for my challenge, Negativity at its Best, I added a line that I used in the answer to a question on the discussion thread.  It now reads:

Quote
For this challenge you will be using the negative image from a die cut.  You can use the positive image for something else or on the inside of the card if you want to, but the front of the card will be what is left over after you die cut an image.  So just set that image aside.   You can use any technique and/or media to decorate the piece that goes behind your opening.

I think this might help.

Thank you,
Daria
