Take the Monday KS Crew Challenge… and you could win a shopping spree!

Happy Monday, Happy KS Crew Challenge Day!

Today KS Crew Member, Nicole Cooke, The Stampin’ Librarian, is our Hostess … and boy has she got a challenge for us today! 😀

Here is Nicole’s Challenge: Creative Uses of Photos.
Incorporate a photograph into your card or project, but there is a catch! You can not create a scrapbook page! That would be too easy. 😀

• pictures don’t have to be people
  
• think about shapes … using punches?
  
• what colors are in the photo?
  
• does someone in the photo inspire something for you?

I will admit, Nicole’s challenge had me on the ropes for a while … what photo to use???? Not a scrapbook page??? Hmmm??? Well, this is what I came up with. A 3 photo pull card.

Stamps: Happy Birthday Cupcake Clear Stamps, Mix it Up Alphabet Clear Stamps, Playful Frames & Journaling (retired), 1/2 Pint Playful Alphabet Clear Stamps & 1/2 Pint Playful Alphabet Buddy Clear Stamps from Kitchen Sink Stamps.

I hope you will join us playing Nicole’s Challenge… plus you will be playing for a chance for one of 3 prizes. 1st prize is the winner’s choice of $50 worth of Kitchen Sink Stamps. (WoHoo!!!)

You have 2 weeks to leave your link in the Mr. Linky box on the Kitchen Sink Stamps Blog, this is where you will also find out who won too. 😀 Deadline to Nicole’s challenge is March 22 midnight EST.
