January Challenge - Theme and Sketch

Hello, fellow creatives! Welcome to 2016 and the very first challenge of the year! Our talented design team is starting the year off with a BANG and we can't wait to see how you impress us! Firstly, we'd like to thank those who played in last month's challenge. 

Now onto this month's challenge. We'd love for you to create and link up your projects based on this month's theme, sketch, or both -- you've got the whole month of December to play :o)

For January, our theme is STAMPS & CLEAN AND SIMPLE. If you do go with this month's theme, you can also enter your card(s) to our brand new CAS Card Challenge here -- more chances for the prizes we have up for grabs :o)

And here's our fun sketch to get inspired by as well:

We've got prizes for the winner and top picks as voted by the design team. See them here.

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 Sunday, January 31, 11:55 p.m. Pacific (GMT-8).
• Have fun creating your project(s)!
