Greetings friends. It is September! How did it become fall? It is time for a new season and a new challenge.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the “animal” challenge. We loved seeing the beautiful cards you created. The winner of the blog badge was Greta H From the GG Creations blog. We loved her beautiful bird design:
The random winner from the entries who won the prize pack was Rosemary D from the Hey There—rosigrl! blog
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.
I don’t know about you, but the first thing I think about in fall is leaves. The foliage is absolutely amazing. However, leaves are wonderful year-round. Do you use pine branches for Christmas? Leaf buds in the spring? Dense green foliage for the summer? What about fall? Do you have bright, colorful leaves? Piles of leaves on the ground? There are so many possibilities, and we would love to see them all. All we ask is that your card uses some sort of reference to leaves and that you use at least one Memory Box product. Other than that, you can make a card for any occasion with any design you choose.
Here are some samples featuring leaves to inspire you:
There are several ways for you to enter the contest:
1.) Link your finished work below
2.) Enter on Instagram by tagging your sketch project with the #mbchallenge123 hashtag
You have until the end of the day (EST) on Sunday, September 28th. Don’t forget, you have to use at least one Memory Box item on your entry and only domestic entries are eligible to be shipped prizes.
Here is what you could win:
