Welcome to a new month and a new challenge.  Thanks to everyone who participated in the Hello! challenge.  We loved seeing your designs.  The winner of the blog badge Pat J who posted on Splitcoaststampers. We loved how the hello was the focal point of her card:

Please contact me at stampjournal@gmail.com with your full name and US address to claim your prize.

Want to play along in this month’s challenge?  The rules are simple – just create a project following the theme, use at least one Memory Box stamp or die on your project and link your entry to this blog post.  You can make a card, a scrapbook page, a home decor item, etc..  To encourage participants with various levels of stamping experience, one entry will be selected at random to win a prize. Enter as many times as you want, but your name will only be entered once into the random prize drawing.   In addition, the design team will select their favorite entry to  be highlighted on the Outside the Box blog and that designer will receive our winner badge to proudly display on their blog. 

You don’t have to have a blog in order to participate.   You can upload your project to any online gallery and link it to this post.   In fairness to other players, we reserve the right to remove entries that do not use at least one Memory Box product.  You are also welcome to link your design to other challenges.  Feel free to grab our badge to post on your blog post or side bar.

Please note, because of issues with shipping internationally, only domestic entries will be eligible to be shipped prizes. We are so very sorry that we had to add this stipulation.

Sympathy cards are difficult to make, and when you need one, you typically need one right away. It is a good idea to have one on hand to show someone how much you care and how much you are thinking of them. Our latest release has a new stamp set called With Sympathy CL5291 which inspired this challenge. We would love to see your take on a sympathy card. All we ask is that your card sends some sort of condolences and that you use at least one Memory Box product.  

Here are some samples to help inspire you:
