Weekly Challenge Roundup: Summertime!

Summertime, summertime, summer, summer, summertime….

Aren’t you just singing?! We’re all so happy here at Stampendous and on our Design Team that school is (or is just about to be) out and those lazy days of summer fun are here!!  We hope you feel like celebrating, because our June Saturday Challenge is all about summer! So put on your cutoffs and your 45SPF sunblock and let’s craft!!

Kicking us off DT member Janelle Stollfus is taking Changito and Changita for a summer splash in the surf! She’s used our fantastic Golden Sand Embossing Powder to give their feet a little beach to walk on. It’s one of our absolute favorite powders!!  So do monkeys hang 20??

Now go see what some of our other design team members have created throughout the week to get your summer creativity going:
