CANADA DAY - July 1st - U.S. 4th of July - Special Card Call

Good afternoon everyone.  Well the summer is in full swing and Canada Day - July 1st and the United States 4th of July is only days away.

We thought this year if would be nice to offer a Special Card Call with an Armed Forces Theme.  All cards created with the following images will be sent to the Armed forces (Canadian & US.) to say thank you for a great job and for putting your lives on the line for your country. This SPECIAL CARD CALL is for the MONTH of JULY.

You can send us the actual card or a picture of your card will be forwarded whichever you like.

If you would like to participate in this Call please contact me and let me know which image you wish.

I have come up with an BW image and a Color for those of you who do not like to color. Thank you Samara Navi  for your fantastic artwork.  Please see DT Creations for more inspiration.

PLEASE POST YOUR CARD LINKS USING OUR LINKY TOOL BELOW.

NEW CHALLENGE AND THURSDAY FREEBIE!

Good Afternoon Everyone!!  This week's challenge is a bit later than I was hoping, but family activites and commitments have taken up the better part of my week this week.  This is Audrey and I am the Challenge Coordinator for the Stamp-n-Doodle DT.  Our challenges will be going a bit differently from now on, so I want to review the new rules and requirements.

A new challenge will be posted each Thursday.  Typically, the post will be up a bit after midnight, but as I said, I was slowed down a bit this week.    A new FREEBIE will be featured each Thursday as well.  Here's this week's FREEBIE - Baby Peaches Cooling Off

1. Each challenge will have it's own theme, for example, this week, we have a sketch challenge.  You must follow the challenge guidelines to be eligible for the prize.

2. You are welcome to use any stamps you like, but if you use a STAMP-N-DOODLE image, you will be entered in the drawing for the winner 2X.  You can enter as many times as you like as long as each entry is different.

3. All entries must be new projects - they can't be something you made months ago, however, you are welcome to combine with as many other current challenges as you wish.

4. When posting your entry, please link directly to your challenge post and not to your main blog page.

5.  Winners will be chosen random.org and will win products from the STAMP-N-DOODLE SHOP.  We will also choose a featured stamper each week - someone who has used a STAMP-N-DOODLE image for their creation - who will have work featured on this blog.

I believe that's everything!  The most important requirement, HAVE FUN! 

Here's your sketch for this week's challenge.  You have until 11:59pm on Weds., June 9, 2010 to enter your creation.

Sandy Larson
