Studio G challenge time & important change announced

hello everyone!  what a great time i had just hangin out with crafty girls yesterday!  it was not a scrappin only group so we had all sorts of things going on – scrapping, lots of knitting, an origami box demo, cross stitching and i was doing polymer clay charms.  everyone brought food to eat and of course lots of chatting while we worked and checking out each others’ stuff.  i am hoping we can do it once a month maybe….

now onto today’s post:

after LOADS of difficult consideration i have decided to incorporate these challenges into my blog instead of continuing them on Paper Craft Planet.  i have 2 reasons for this

1. it will be ALOT easier for me to keep up with.  i am finding myself more  more pressed for time and need to limit the number of sites i visit on a regular basis.
2. i am really hoping to increase the number of participants.  heavens knows i send out LOADS of these sets!!!

i might even create a page devoted to all things studio G…..

now for today’s challenge – Michelle has an inspiration challenge for us – LEAVES!  Create any type of project you want incorporating leaves in some way and also using studio G stamps – although there are some nice leaf ones it doesn’t mean you are limited to only leaves – everybody got it?!?!?!

now for my sample i am cheating a little – i actually posted the card i made for this challenge earlier in the week because it incorporated other challenges and i wanted to catch those deadlines but here it is again for you:

Please post using Mr Linky below and remember one random winner will receive a prize straight from Hampton Arts – the creators of Studio G goodies and LOTS of other really wonderful stamps – both clear and red rubber.  i am looking forward to seeing your creations with these very versatile samps and as always you have 2 weeks to enter!
