Falling for The Newborn King.

As a christian I always need to buy the current stamp sets for Christmas that have a christian theme to them and this is so fun and whimsical so I knew I would have to have it--but those of you who know me know that I do not like to use stamps for ONLY ONE purpose so I am using this set for my Latenightstamper's Challenge this month! Yep, I said month--our new challenges will run for a full month and you will have a general theme so you will have no excuse for not playing along. lol.  The October challenge will be to create a sample that fits a Fall, Harvest or Halloween Theme!  Fun right?

So what do you think?  Does it work for fall too???


Stamps:  The Newborn King, For All Things, Fall Fest
Paper: Color Me Autumn DP, Crushed Curry, Whisper White and Soft Suede
Ink: Basic Brown
Other: blendabilities, circle die, Fun Fall Framelits, small flag punch, candy dots

Come on over to the Latenightstamper's Blog to play along with us.

So glad to see you three days in a row!

Stamps:  Dotty Angles, A Dozen Thoughts, Pictogram Punches
Paper: Mossy Meadow, Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry, Whisper White
Ink: Blackberry Bliss, Mossy Meadow, Curshed Curry

Bet you can't wait to get stamping!  And we can't wait to see what you come up with!
Be sure to add your sample to Mr. Linky below.


Here are some basic rules for the challenge....
  1. You have a full week to play along!
  2. Create a new card using the sketch as your inspiration.
  3. Use any products you choose.
  4. Add your card to your blog or other on-line spot and link back to this challenge.
  5. Come back here and add a direct link to your sample for the challenge and NOT you home page of your blog--people will not look for your challenge card--trust me.
  6. And this one is not really a rule but a request--get rid of that word verification!  It makes it hard for us to comment on your samples.  It is easier for you to delete the spam then for us to jump through tons of hoops to comment.  If your put your comments on moderation you do not have to worry about spam--you will have the option to delete it BEFORE it ever goes on your blog so you will ALWAYS be safe!
  7. Have fun and tell you friends to play too! 
    Add your sample below
    Thanks for playing along!
