SDC65: Color Challenge

Hi! Jane here hosting the new challenge this week. I love the colors Mustard, Navy and Orange. There you go, the challenge=use them.

I am also loving this new line of Stampotique Stamps for September, especially since on of "our own" design team members, Maria has her very first line of images in it. I used Rainy Day 7303 with various Copic markers. Thanks for looking and good luck!

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 October from all those who played in the September challenges.

Please link DIRECTLY to your creation, not to your blog. 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 using MUSTARD, NAVY and ORANGE. You will have until noon EST on 9/18/12 to join us.

SDC64: Combining Stamps

**New Release Blog Hop-FINAL REVEAL can be found here**

Hi all !

France here (from Belgium ;) ) to wish a happy Wednesday and a happy new challenge! I don’t know about you, but I’m always under the impression I never (ever) have enough stamps, which is probably true, but…
Thinking about it gave me the idea for this week’s challenge: how about using what we have, and combining 2 stamps (or more) to create a new image? Now, this might sound intimidating. Just let go, dive into your stamps and let your imagination go wild. Can’t wait to see what you all come up with!

Please remember we are now doing weekly challenges so you will have until Tuesday, 9/11/12 to link up below using Inlinkz for SDC64 and play along for your chance to win.

All winners from the challenges from the month will have a chance to win, we will randomly draw 2 winners for a $30 gift certificate for Stampotique stamps at our first challenge of the following month (October).

Our winners for the two Stampotique gift certificates for stamps for August are:
(please e-mail carol@stampotique.com with SDC August Winners to redeem your gift certificate)

#23 GlitteryKatie
