The Weekly Challenge: Cardboard

Follow Me to hear about all of the Weekly Challenges.

This Week's Challenge:
Make something - anything! - using cardboard.

First off, I'd like to congratulate our 1st Place winner, supersoftdrink, who wins a Dremel, a robot T-shirt, Sugru, and 1-year pro membership. I'd also like to congratulate all five of the 2nd place winners who win a robot T-shirt, Sugru, and 1-year pro membership.

And a big "Thank You!" to everyone who entered. I was a little bit surprised and overwhelmed by the amount of amazing entries. In fact, I had such a hard time picking winners that I have decided to include 5 honorable mentions who will all be receiving 1-year pro memberships.

Don't forget to check out this week's Headphone Challenge!

And here I was thinking this thing didn't get any contest entries... When all the while a bug in the comment section is making it so that the second page reveals later comments! :o Could that bug be fixed? The top comment is from july 13 while all the ones after that are from dates after that...
