Our DT have created some amazing sample cards:

Jessica

Kathy

In the meantime, remember you must use ANY stamp that we carry in our Nutcrafters store to qualify for the prize!!! That makes it nice and easy for everyone to participate!! So go over to Nutcrafters and see our selection of stamps.

All you have to do is make your creation and leave a link in the comment section of this post with a direct link to your project, not your blog, your project prior to August 10th (this is a two week challenge).
