<br />
October 1, 2013 marks our three year anniversary! Can you believe that it was back on October 1, 2010 when we posted our first challenge? We have seen the most beautiful entries over the years and we would like to thank our faithful players who have amazed us again and again!<br />
<br />
We're going to take a little break from the monthly challenges for a while, but we'd love to see what you're creating, so we're going to leave a linky open for you to share your Stampsmith creations (no theme - anything goes!). You never know when the rubber fairy might stop by with something to give away!! ;)<br />
<br />
Thank you to everyone who linked up projects in September; your work is as fabulous as ever! Congratulations to <a href="http://www.blogger.com/"><span id="goog_1272877065"></span>Hellerlittle<span id="goog_1272877066"></span></a> who has been drawn as our anniversary winner of a $21 gift certificate to <a href="http://stampsmith.net/">The Stampsmith Store</a>! Please contact Valerie for all of the details (her link is in the sidebar). Below is a close up of Hellerlittle's beautiful project.<br />
<br />
You can visit the <a href="http://thestampsmith.blogspot.com/">Stampsmith Design Team Blog</a> for even more Stampsmith inspiration! This fall, we have the amazing Maria Green visiting as a Guest Designer... do drop by and send her some love!<br />
<br />
Again, thank you everyone!<br />
We look forward to hosting more challenges in the future.<br />
Kind regards,<br />
The Stampsmith Designers<br />

Be on the lookout for more of Maria's beautiful work on the <a href="http://thestampsmith.blogspot.ca/">Stampsmith Designer's Blog</a> as she joins our designers during September, October and November. <br />
<br />
This month marks a milestone for the Stampsmith Challenge. It was back on October 1, 2010 when we posted our first challenge, so the end of this month's challenge will be our 3 year anniversary. The Stampsmith designers have enjoyed seeing your brilliant creations each and every challenge! We appreciate all of our faithful followers and thank everyone who has supported the challenge over the years. To round us out to exactly 3 years, we are going to make this the last monthly challenge before The Stampsmith Challenge changes gears and takes a break for a while. (More details Oct.1!)<br />
<br />
For this special challenge, Maria has asked us to use a song as our inspiration - your project doesn't have to <i>represent</i> the song, just be inspired by it! We can't wait to see what you create! Be sure to play along for your chance to win $21 toward your choice of Stampsmith stamps!<br />

<b><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Spring Flowers and Colors - Using At Least One Stampsmith Stamp ... Plus a Bonus!!</span></b><br />
<br />
Maybe we're rushing it, but we see signs of Spring all around and we want to celebrate - NOW! This month we challenge you to use Spring flowers and colors as your inspiration. Of course that's just a starting point - let's see where it leads you! We hope you'll invite a friend and play along for your chance to win $21 toward your choice of <a href="http://stampsmith.net/">Stampsmith</a> stamps!<br />
<br />
We would also like to hear about your favorite types of challenges (color, shape, photo, sketch, theme, etc.) and your specific theme suggestions for upcoming months. Every comment giving us feedback will earn an entry in our draw for a little mystery gift from <a href="http://valeriewilson.blogspot.com/">Valerie</a>!!<br />
<br />
The designers have been busy celebrating Spring behind the scenes and we finally get to share their gorgeous creations with you! Are there signs of Spring in your yard?? :)<br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><b>And now for Challenge #38:</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><b>Recycle/Reuse - Using At Least One Stampsmith Stamp & Guest Designer Call</b></span><br />
<br />
It's a brand new year and we are considering Guest Designer spots for 2013!! If being a Guest Stampsmith Designer interests you, please add <b>TSCGD</b> after your picture's TITLE in the Linky Tool when you link up your project.<br />
<br />
During January, we're asking you to get creative with turning found objects into works of art. We're excited to see what items will receive a makeover! Throw abandon to the wind and see what old or tired objects can get a new lease on life!! The designers have more beautiful inspiration waiting for you below! We hope that you will invite a friend and play along for your chance to win a $21 gift certificate to The Stampsmith store!<br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><b>And now for Challenge #36:</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><b>Monochromatic White - Using At Least One Stampsmith Stamp</b></span><br />
<br />
This month's challenge is to create a project using hues of white (i.e. white, ecru, cream, offwhite, etc.) White makes a beautiful backdrop for cards of any theme - especially weddings, Christmas and winter! We realize that your stamped image won't be white, but we would like to see the rest of your project utilize a tone-on-tone palette of the ever-elegant white. The designers have some gorgeous inspiration waiting for you below! We hope that you will invite a friend and play along for your chance to win a $21 gift certificate to The Stampsmith store!<br />

<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><b>With Gratitude - Using At Least One Stampsmith Stamp</b></span><br />
<br />
This month's challenge is to create a project that purveys gratitude or thanks. "Thanks for being there", "Thank you for your kindness", "Very Grateful", "Happy Thanksgiving" or "U Rock" are just a few of the ideas that come to mind. Our designers are always so very grateful for your support. They have created some wonderful projects to thank you for your kind comments and brilliant entries with the hopes that you'll be inspired to play along again - or join us for the first time - for your chance to win a $21 gift certificate to The Stampsmith store!<br />

<b><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Bags N' Tags - Using At Least One Stampsmith Stamp</span></b><br />
<br />
This month's theme has been inspired by a recent tag swap held on the <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stampsmith/">Stampmith Yahoo Group</a>!! (If you are not already a member, be sure to <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stampsmith/">join</a> for all kinds of Stampsmith chatter, inspiration and insider Stampsmith news!)<br />
<br />
Our challenge this month is to create any kind of bag or tag - or a matching pair - using at least one <a href="http://stampsmith.net/">Stampsmith</a> stamp! Use a pre-made bag or tag or create them from scratch in any size! <br />
<br />
Be sure to link your project to this challenge be entered in the draw for a $21 gift certificate toward the purchase of their favorite stamps in the Stampsmith Store - yep, you can select as much as you want and save $21 on your order!!! Here is some inspiration from the fabulous design team to get you started... we can't wait to see what you create!<br />

<br />
Every wonderful comment you leave will enter your name in the draw for some mystery spoiling from the very appreciative Stampsmith Design Team! Be sure to visit everyone and leave some love for added chances to win!<br />
<div>

Every fabulous project linked up to this challenge be entered in the draw for a $21 gift certificate toward the purchase of their favorite stamps in the <a href="http://stampsmith.net/">Stampsmith Store</a> - yep, you can select as much as you want and save $21 on your order!!!<br />

The design team has worked their seasonal magic to create some Spring-like projects for your inspiration! Spring into action and join the fun by linking up your project before the end of April. We will draw for the winner of a full sheet of beautiful Stampsmith Stamps valued at $21 to be announced on May 1. We can't wait to see your creations!<br />

Congratulations to <a href="http://journeyintoartistry.blogspot.com/2012/02/stampsmith-challenge-27-love-and-lace.html">Yvonne Garner at Journey Into Artistry</a> who has been chosen by random draw as this month's winner of a new sheet of <a href="http://stampsmith.net/">Stampsmith</a> Stamps provided by <a href="http://thecuttinggarden.ca/">The Cutting Garden</a>!

<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><b>And now for Challenge #28:</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><b>Flip 'N Fold</b></span><br />
<br />
This month, <a href="http://valeriewilson.blogspot.com/">Valerie</a> challenges you to find interesting ways of incorporating folds into a project. For example, use an interesting new fold if you are creating a card, incorporate pieces or parts that flip up, down or open on your project, or put folded pieces of paper or fabric into your creation in some way. Lots of latitude on your interpretation of this one!<br />
<br />
The design team has been flipping and folding all month to create some inspiration to get you started! Dig out your crafty tools and join the fun by linking up your project before the end of March. We will draw for the winner of a full sheet of beautiful <a href="http://stampsmith.net/">Stampsmith Stamps</a> valued at $21 to be announced on April 1. We can't wait to see your creations!<br />
