As usual, the guest judges were bowled over by the number of great entries and found it hard to pick just one winner. The girls have kindly decided to give two runner-up prizes of $50 vouchers to @design_salt and @pastelpeppermint. “We love @pastelpeppermint for how she has combined colour with something she loves — her two gorgeous cats Tortilla and Pinto. What ace names and great pics!

“And @design_salt because her very stylish photos were just really beautiful and how could we go past a jelly banana with chia on the ends? Genius!”

Here’s my thoughts on why you should get involved with 7 Vignettes next month if you haven’t before! Did you hear? We passed 50,000 images on the #7vignettes hashtag this month! How cool is that?!

Winners, please contact me so we can pass your email address into Kip and Co. Thanks to our gorgeous guest judges and sponsors, we couldn’t think of a better brand to support our colourful themes this month!

7 Vignettes tops 50,000 photos!

Something really cool happened this week, in the middle of 7 Vignettes’ January challenge. We passed the magic 50k mark on the #7vignettes hashtag. Quite the milestone! It comes two years after I started the Instagram photo challenge. Seems bonkers to think it has been 24 months. And it’s still going as strong as ever if not stronger. I am so happy!

Now, I have always been a big fan of social media and the positives it can bring. I have met some of my now closest friends via Twitter and my husband and I first starting chatting on Facebook after being introduced by a mutual friend! 7 Vignettes is one of those social media things that keeps on giving, month after month, year after year!

Something special happened this month, other than reaching the big 50k. There’s always a great feeling of friendship and positivity around the challenge but this month, probably partly because of it being New Year and partly because I made a concerted effort to encourage newbies to give it a go, we had a lot of first-timers on board and boy, did they love it! And I loved seeing them loving it.

I even wrote this blog post yesterday to try and encourage more people to stop being scared and just have a go and have fun and stop being self-doubters. I hope it may encourage you too!

The January challenge finished yesterday (I’ll be announcing the winner tomorrow) and I always feel a little sad when I wake up the next morning and there’s no new pix (for another three weeks anyway!). See you all on 1 February, I hope! Make sure you’re signed up to our newsletter to get sent the themes first!

Still asking yourself what is 7 Vignettes?! Read all about it here with a fun video interview with The Block’s Darren Palmer on why it’s awesome.

7 Vignettes, starts New Year’s Day! Win a $500 voucher from Kip and Co

I can’t think of a better New Year’s creative resolution than to have a go at your first 7 Vignettes challenge! Or if you’re a regular already, there’s no better way to kick off 1 January than by getting your stylist on via Instagram, right? If you needed further incentive, I’m hoping the chance to win a $500 Kip and Co voucher and completely make over your bedroom for 2015 might be good enough!

To keep things simple, as we hope lots of newbies will take part, the themes are all colour-based. Sparkle and rainbow are of course legitimate colours!
