Congrats on your 1 year anniversary!!! Your stamps are super awesome! Can't wait to see what new sets are released this month!
My card that I made today is for the "Think outside the Box" challenge. I used Pretty Tera Drops. Here's my blog link: http://erinscrafts.blogspot.com/2008/09/did-you-know.html for my entry.
Thanks!

Ok, um, where are all the other entries???? Hello? Is anyone out there???!!
I have another one. This one is for the Thinking Outside the Box. I have been working w/ Armour Etch and 3 step Butterflies.
As for how it relates to celebration, um, I know it's a stretch, but how about, these are the plates and cups for the big celebration party? Does it qualify?

Thanks, and I hope to see more entries! It's rather scary just seeing my little cheese and mouse card continuously running through the slide show! LOL!
Happy Stamping!!!
Decided to devote some time today to cards for the September contest.

I had a small working window for use of a computer because of Hurrican Ike, so this was the only time I had to get this in. Pray I get electricity soon.

This is a wallhanging for the best use of sentiment. I stamped the word *Happy* all around the edge of the rose. Roses are given for many happy events so this rose someone could hang on their wall and enjoy for some time. I used the Heart and rose set, the whole family set, and plaid plus. Here's how it turned out: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1057822?cat=500&ppuser=7104&perpage=24
Here is a Christmas ornament I would like to enter in the Anything But a Card Category of September's Celebrate contest.
