Welcome to June everyone. I hope you are ready for a new challenge. Thanks to everyone who participated in the May “Rain or Shine” challenge. We really love seeing your creations. The randomly selected winner for May was ionabunny from the Crafty Nomad blog. Here is their design:

please contact stampjournal@gmail.com to collect your prizes.
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. The random winner will also have their card on display for next month’s challenge.
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.

Frames! We love frames! We even have a new frame set called Cinched Frames that looks fantastic alone to add a decorative border around your main image. It also looks great nested and layered on top of itself to create many different frames. How do you interpret frames? Is it a decorative border? Is it a porthole you can peek through? Is it a picture on a wall? How do you create your frame? Is it stamped? Die cut? Pieced together with paper? Is it an embellishment? There are so many possibilities. For this challenge, we would like make a card or scrapbook page with any theme you like. All we ask is that you use a frame of your choosing as well as at least one Memory Box product.
Here are some samples to help inspire you:
