May Challenge - Theme and Sketch

Hey there, STAMPlorations friends! It's a new month, which means a new challenge here on the blog! But first, we'd like to thank everyone who linked up their beautiful creations last month. We saw lots of splatters and projects that were based on the sketch. We will announce the April winner and top picks later today on Sunday so check back again.

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 May to play :o)

For May, our theme is STAMPS & ANYTHING GOES. That's one tough theme, isn't it? ;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.
