Stencil Sunday #53 + July Mixed Media Challenge

If you're looking for Day 5 of our 3rd Birthday Blog Hop & Linky Party, click here.

Welcome to another edition of Stencil Sunday with the STAMPlorations girls in the mixed media design team. This is one special Stencil Sunday post because it's the beginning of the new term!

Our mixed media design team is bigger, better, and more awesome! Last month, we introduced our new design team members in this post. New STAMPlorations girls Amy, Lynne, MariLynn, Melissa, and Sanna + familiar faces Monika and Sari join returning mixed media artists Asmah, Carol, Susanne, and Tanja. Together, these 11 talented artists will share inspiring mixed media projects month after month through out Stencil Sunday posts and mixed media tutorials! Needless to say, you will be in for the most amazing mixed media treat in the next 12 months!

So...it's the first Sunday of the month, which means it's time for a new Mixed Media Challenge!

Thank you to everyone who linked up to the June Mixed Media Challenge! We'll announce the winner and top picks on on Wednesday, July 6. Let's start off with the girls' awe-mazing mixed media projects!

• You can enter as many projects as you wish as long as they are in separate blog posts.
• Your project photo must be posted in full in your blog post! Please don't link up to our challenge if you're only showing a sneak peek of it (as is the case when you made it as a design team project for another company).

• The winner (as voted by the design team) receives a $15 gift certificate OR her choice of ARTplorations stencils (either 2 standard size stencils or 1 large stencil).
