And now for Challenge #16:
Friends & Friendship - Using at least one Stampsmith stamp - And a Bonus!!


This week, Lynne has chosen the wonderful theme of Friendship for our challenge!  Friendship is important to all of us so we want to see your friendship inspired artwork using at least one of The Stampsmith stamps. Will it be friendship between children, a couple, furry friends or probably the most important type of friendship ... female friends? Whatever you decide, share it with us at The Stampsmith Challenge for your chance to win a $10 gift certificate to shop in The Stampsmith Store!

As a bonus, anyone who submits their Stampsmith Challenge Friendship project to any other challenges will receive an extra chance to win.  Link to the Stampsmith Challenge and any other challenges you submit your project to in your blog writeup and we will automatically put your name in the hat twice!!!

Here is some design team inspiration to get you started!
