GC133: Chestnut Theme Challenge - Use a Set

As we get organized for the new year, it's time to actually use what we already have! So today we ask you to

Use a Set or
a Line of Stamps

including Quiet Place, Medium Bee
with Small Bee and Swirl Stalks

That's right! You know you have a particular line of stamps that you love or a particular set that always comes to hand. Get them out and start stamping!

We would like to thank Stampotique Originals for their generous sponsorship throughout this month!
One randomly drawn winner from the qualifying participants for this challenge will become our new Home Page Artist for a week as well as winning a $30 voucher to the Stampotique Originals store.

When the challenge closes on January 29 , 2012, we will pick 10 Ginger Gems - fabulous creations that we feel really exemplify that challenge's objective. The Ginger Gems will appear in our wrap-up post and in a slide show in the blog bar for an entire week and their creators will have the honor of displaying our Ginger Gems blog badge.

For your chance to be eligible as a Ginger Gem or as a Home Page Artist, just follow the simple guidelines below:

1) Make a paper crafting or mixed media creation using a particular line or set of stamps in your creation;

2) Post your creation to your blog or online gallery with a mention and link to this post; and

3) Come back to this post and leave a comment including a DIRECT link to your creation or use the linky application below. Remember to make it a link to the specific post or picture and not just a general link to your blog or gallery. We need to be able to find your art!

For more information on our challenges and directions on linking, please check out our FAQ page.

One random winner and seven Ginger Gems will be announced from the qualifying submissions on January 31, 2012. You have until January 29, 2012 to enter!

Our Gingers have been hard at work on this one! Check out what they have made to inspire you!
