September New Release Blog Hop

Some of you may have already heard, but Stampotique Originals has got some fabulous new designs being released today. Wait until you see these!!!

We know we say that every time, but each release seems to come with such great new stamps it's hard not to find a favorite with each new release. We've been bursting at the seams to share these with you.

This month, we also are introducing a brand new artist. Her name is Linda Peterson and we think a lot of you are going to love her line of stamps, they are darling.

So hop along with the design team and some special guests to see the new stamps the team has been working with. The more blogs you comment on, the better your chances of winning some goodies are.

You will want to hop on over to Libby Hickson's blog from here:

SDC112: Polka Dots

Roc is our hostess this week and here is her fun challenge:

"Hi everyone. I am really happy to be hosting this week's challenge. I'm asking you to create something with polka dots. There is something about polka dots that makes me smile. You can't be sad when you are creating them. So make them big. Make them small. Make them any size at all. See how many polka dots you can work into your art, but most of all, have fun. I can't wait to see what you come up with!"

August Challenge Links

PLEASE READ ALL RULES BEFORE LINKING

Please remember you can use any stamps now for our challenge, but only one entry per person. We will draw 2 random winners on the first week of our challenge in September from all those who played in the August challenges.

Please link DIRECTLY to your creation, not to your blog. You MUST include the challenge # (which can be found at the Stampotique Designer's Challenge blog) behind your name (any not linking directly to your creation AND having the challenge # will be deleted and not eligible for prize). For example if I'm entering it would look like this- MYNAME-SDC73 (or whichever challenge # it is) .

We ask that if you have comment verification turned on, that you would consider turning this on and doing comment moderation instead.

Please use Inlinkz below to link up your challenge.

**Change to Stampotique submission rules: You will now have until the first challenge of the following month to submit your entries-we will only have one Inlinkz per month; so today marks the start of the challenges for August and it will run through the close of our last challenge for August which will be September 4, 2013 at noon ET**

make something for you. Be u and have fun with this weeks challenge.

Our challenge this week will be a 2 week challenge which will end on August 6th.

Please read ALL RULES on the linkz page before linking your creation.
