Happy Kitchen Sink Monday … and Happy Labor Day
I hope everyone is having a nice long weekend and enjoying their day off!
I have quite a bit of fun news to share with you today. Besides being SUPER excited about getting ready for KSS’ next Workshop this Oct. in Houston (HERE for all the details), the KSCrew Challenge is BACK! YaHoo!
This month’s KS Crew Challenge is hosted by Connie, whose challenge is: “Ushering in Fall“…Make a card inspired by the fall…colors, leaves, back to school anything you can think of when you think of “Fall”. For all the details about playing along with us, please GO HERE.
I am so happy how this card just fell together… sorry about the pun! But seriously, I went to my box of cardstock scraps and the pieces were just sitting there waiting to be put together. Love when that happens!
Next: Kitchen Sink Stamps will release 3 new stamps sets next Monday, Sept. 13th. To have a bit of fun … thought I would give you some clues before I show you any sneak peeks. Are you game? OK! 🙂
3 new stamps sets… 3 clues that need to be solved. Easy Peasy, right? Right! … But where are the clues you ask …. that is what you all have to find. You won’t find any of the clues here …. but you will find them on 3 of the KS Crew members’ blogs. Which one is the question?… you’ll have to visit each blog to find out who has one of the clues! After you have found the 3 clues, come back HERE to post your answer by Thursday, Sept. 9th – Midnight PST. The first comment to get all 3 clues correct will win one (winner’s choice) of the newly released stamp sets!
See what the KS Crew has created to inspire today, plus … remember to find 3 clues and come back here to this blog to post your answers … you just might be the winner!

I found the 3 clues and here are my guesses:
1. Usually this phrase has something to do with sports.
2. An elephant never forgets.
3. Ribbon like the pink one for Breast Cancer.
Hope this is what you wanted.

Here are my answers/quesses:
1. It never forgets: Elephants and the WWW/Internet
2. Attention to a worthy cause: LiveStrong (yellow wristband) and/or the Pink Ribbon
3. In a league of its own: so many answers to this one, but i have 2 quesses: Kitchen Sink Stamps-like no other or the new 2010 Roadster-Nissan’s 370Z sports car.

Beautiful fall card. The leaves look so real.
Fabulous hop and I found some clues too.
1. League of it’s own would have to be football.
2. An Elephant never forgets.
3. Worthy Cause is Breast Cancer Awareness.
Can’t wait to see the answers and of course the new stamp sets.

I’m loving seeing all the fall color on these cards!
As for the hints:
1. I first thought baseball, because of the movie with this title, but googled the hint and found that there was an NFL promotion in the past with this name. Since baseball season is ending and football is just starting, I’ll have to go with football.
2. An elephant never forgets.
3. An awareness ribbon brings attention to a worthy cause, and October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

What beautiful colors for these fabulous falling autumn leaves!! A wonderful layout and fun pierced corners for this tall card design!!
Awesome work, Maria!!
I’m so excited about the new stamps to be released next week!!

#1 Football related since we already have a baseball glove ect…
#2 Elephants never forget, so maybe something Circus or Jungle related
#3 Breast cancer Awareness since October is right around the corner & is National BC Awareness Month. The Ribbon could be used for any Cancer by just changing the colors we use.
I sure hope that at least #3 is correct as I am a Stage-3 BC survivor of 2 years & was the 6th in my family 2B diagnosed & I know Maria would produce an awesome set!!!
