First monthly challenge sponsored by Simon Says Stamp

609storeheader

As promised, we're back with our first Simon Says Stamp monthly challenge! We are so excited - this has been in the planning for weeks and weeks and today's the day we get to show our creations to you all! Heidi from Simon Says Stamp has very generously agreed to sponsor this monthly challenge and the prize is .........

a whopping .......

$50 voucher to spend on what you want in their store!

With over 100,000 items in stock, Simon is proud to offer the best selection of Rubber Stamps, Scrapbooking, Artist Trading Cards, Altered Art, and Paper Crafting Supplies in the world!

Now, because this is a special challenge with an extra special prize the theme is a bit more challenging but we know you can all do it! This month the challenge is to alter a container - ANY container - for example a recycled paper bag, a empty box of chocolates, a custom made box, a canvas bag, a tin, a plastic tub - even a photo album (which our Marcea has done, such a clever idea). So you don't have to go out and buy something specifically to alter, we all have bits and bobs that can be altered for the challenge. The only specification is that you must use a Magnolia stamp on the project.

You have two weeks to enter, the challenge will close at 10pm on mONDAY 29th June and the winner will be picked by Random Generator.

This challenge is separate from the normal weekly challenge which will continue to run each week as usual.

Here's some inspiration from the Design Team - they really pushed the boat out with these fantastic creations! Pop across to their blogs to get all the details of what they have altered and how.
