September Challenge - Theme and Sketch!

Hey, STAMPlorations friends! It's time for a new challenge. You can create and link up projects based on the theme, the sketch, or both -- and you've got the whole month of September to play.

For September, our theme is STAMPS & MUSIC.


And we've got a fun sketch below for you to get inspired by as well.

***INSPIRATION PROJECTS***

This month, we have four (4) talented cardmakers guest designing. For this post, we're showcasing the first three: Karen DunbrookKathy Schweinfurth, and Karen Petitt. You'll meet our fourth guest designer, Keia Shipp, when we feature her in our mid-month challenge post on September 16. I hope you can check out the blogs of our guest designers. They've each created gorgeous cards for the challenge and we're excited to have them here on the blog this month! :o)

READY TO PLAY?

Please keep in mind our simple guidelines:
  • Link up any type of project(s) based on the theme, the sketch, or both.
  • You must use stamps in your project(s) -- rubber, clear, or digi from any company. Non-STAMPlorations stamps  are OK (although please don't link up a project you've created for the sole purpose of promoting another company; those projects will be deleted.)
  • Link up to 6 entries and link up to as many other challenges as you want.
  • Link directly to your blog post, not to your main blog. (This makes it easy for us to find and comment on your entry.)
  • If you have word verification turned on, our design team may not be able to leave a comment, so please consider turning it off.
  • Link back to this challenge post (not just our main blog) to encourage others to play too. Entries not linking back to our challenge will be deleted.
  • Link up by Wednesday, September 30, 11:55 p.m. Pacific (GMT-7).
  • Have fun creating your project(s)!
