March Challenge: STAMPS & SPRING
Welcome to the March challenge! We’d love it if you’ll join us for the entire month of March! Each month we have a theme, and for March, our theme is STAMPS & SPRING. You can use stamps by other companies to create projects that you enter to our challenges, although if you have our stamps in your stash, we'd be tickled if you use them!

A perfect Mother's Day set for sure but could also be used for someone who has been supportive of you, like a mother. You could also just ink partial sections of this for some lovely sentiments!
Congratulations, ladies! Please send an email to sheryruss@gmail.com to claim your prize. Please put "MOM Stamps winner" on the subject line and provide your mailing address.
The MOM Subway Art Builders pre-release sale is underway! Until March 13, these stamps are 30% OFF! Click on the preview graphic below for the details and quick-order button.
Happy stamping!

Welcome to our 7th bi-weekly sketch challenge! Here’s the sketch for this challenge. It’s open to interpretation. Feel free to change the orientation of the sketch, use different shapes, add other elements to suit the type of paper craft you’re making, and so on — just make sure the sketch is recognizable in your submission(s). You can use stamps by other companies to create projects that you enter to our challenges, although if you have STAMPlorations stamps in your stash, we'd be tickled if you use them!

Meet Our New Design Team Member: Sandie
And here's our last design team introduction. Many of you know her already because she's been wonderful at visiting and commenting on our challenge participants' projects over the last couple of months. (And hey, I see the acronym "CAS" and her name is one of the names that pop into mind right off the bat.)
This month, Sandie officially joins us in the STAMPlorations design team!
Please give Sandie a warm welcome and check out her blog! We're very excited to have her on the team and she joins us tomorrow when we start Sketch Challenge #7!
This month, Sandie officially joins us in the STAMPlorations design team!
"Hi there! I'm Sandie and I am passionate about making cards. I started crafting a few years ago and once I started I couldn't stop! My style is Clean and Simple. I am happiest when I have created a card with just stamp and ink and lots of white space, although you will see some bling and the odd ribbon now and then. When I am not crafting, I like to walk, grow my own vegetable, and watch movies. I live in London and I love to explore all that it has to offer!"
Please give Sandie a warm welcome and check out her blog! We're very excited to have her on the team and she joins us tomorrow when we start Sketch Challenge #7!
