Happy Monday everyone!! I hope you had a great weekend!! We are still enjoying the long holiday weekend here and my hubby is home for the day. That means not much crafting time today.

Anywho..We have a new monthly challenge for you at Stamp and Create! !!

Kim (who won the first Stamp and Create challenge) is our guest and she chose this month's challenge...Stitching/Sewing: can be hand, faux or machine stitching!!

There are new rules to the challenge...You may use ANY stamp now!! Just please make sure to mention that you are participating with the Stamp and Create Challenge.

Here is a banner if you would like to display it on your blog...


I was so excited to choose whatever stamp I wanted for my creation. I bought these new Stampavie images a while ago and never had a chance to ink them up. For my creation I decided to use Stampavie's Isabelle and Puppy Coco , Popcorn Bear Thanks a Bunch for her sentiment and zig zag stitching throughout my easel card. I also used Basic Grey Eva, large flower spacer (which is hidden by the bow in the photo), pink silk ribbon from May Arts, Labels 4 and 10 Spellbinders, and Kaiser Craft Pearls.



The layout uses the Midnight Madness Sketch #60. I also added lots of sparkle on my image for the Stampavie challenge this week.

Other challenges:

* By the cute and girly - warm summer days
* LaLaLand - Try something new (used a metal slide and no flower embellishments)
* Papertake weekly - In stitches
* Ooh La La creations - Simply summer
* # Nutty Nutshells #19, Summertime Fun
* Crafty Cardmakers #24 Inky Fingers
* Drunken Stampers #23 Summer Theme
* Crazy Challenge - Make It In An Hour
* Lexi's - Layers
* Stamp With Sarah Kay - Sparkling
* Alota Rubber Stamps - Inside and Out
* Creative Card Crew- Easel
* Penny's Challenges- something with a dog
* Spoonful of Sugar- animal crackers
* My Time to Craft- Zig Zags
* Beary Scrap - Embossing
* Craftalicious - Cute
* PIO: Favorite Things- silk ribbon, Stampavie images, easel cards, sewing
* Speedy the cat: die cut
* Incy Wincy- use punches
