And now for Challenge #20:
Gettin' Sketchy - Using At Least One Stampsmith Stamp

This week, we have a sketch for you to use as a starting point for your project!  We can't wait to see how you use it!  We hope you'll push the boundaries and come up with some innovative ideas for it!
Here are a few guidelines...

  • project may be any shape or dimensions
  • sizes and positioning of layers may be altered to meet your needs
  • colors of squares and circles have no impact on paper choices (i.e. reuse papers, etc.)
  • embellish any way you wish (any materials, any placement)
  • add sentiments anywhere you wish
  • this is just meant to be a starting point
  • most of all, just have fun!! :)

Here is some inspiration from the designers to get you started!!

And now for Challenge #19:
Teal & Yellow - Using Stamps From Any Company


It's the first of the month again when we open up our challenge to stamps from any company.  Of course, if you have Stampsmith stamps, we'd love to see your inspiration with them!  This week, Karen has a doozie of a challenge for us (ok, well, at least for Val!! :)  She's asked us to combine the colors teal and yellow in our creations.  Of course, these colors do not have to be the main colors and you are welcome to add any other colors you wish - but teal and yellow have to be in there somewhere!!  We can't wait to see what you come up with!  The design team has some inspiration to get you started!
