Monthly Challenge

It's that time once again! A new month is upon us which means a new challenge is here as well.

The old saying goes "April showers bring May flowers".
Flowers ... you say? We have to do a challenge with flowers? Well, no not this month. In fact, it's quite the opposite!

This month we want to challenge you to:
  • create a masculine themed layout/card/project
  • use one of our Snag'Em Stamps from any Imaginisce collection
  • you must use at least 75% of Imaginisce product

CHALLENGE PRIZE:
Our challenge winner will take home

a complete i-top package valued at $75

or a range of popular collections to the same value

Just in case you didn't know this - Imaginisce has a set of stamps (called Snag 'Em Stamps) that comes out with each collection and they're are just darling. The stamps match with each collection & they're perfect for card making or adding accents to your layouts & projects.

So to help get your creativity going the Design Team has created some projects for you.

Aphra Bolyer created this precious baby boy card using "It's a Boy" Snag 'Em Stamp from Little Cutie collection.

Marielle LeBlanc created this fabulous dinosaur layout using the ticket Snag 'Em stamp from the Animal Crackers collection. She also used the Dino Roar collection for this page.

It wouldn't be masculine/boy themed if there wasn't mud now would it?? Lydia Jackson created the incredible layout using the Frame Snag'em Stamp from Garden Party collection.

Beth Moore created both of these amazing cards. This first card she used the same sailboat Snag 'Em stamp as Aphra did from Little Cutie. She just didn't ink the "It's a boy" part of the stamp.
This next card Beth used this cute Dragon Snag 'em Stamp from Enchanted. Isn't he cute?

Michelle Unruh used one of the Steggy Snag 'Em Stamp designs from Dino Roar collection. She colored the stamped image in with colored pencils.

This layout was created by Penny Smith. She used the Bear Frame Snag 'em Stamp from Little Cutie collection.

This adorable baby layout was created by Samantha Hauzer and she used a tiger Snag 'Em stamp from an older collection by Imaginisce.

Sophia Allison made this page using the ticket Snag 'Em Stamp from Animal Crackers.


Keely Yowler created this darling card using the Cherries Snag 'Em Stamp fromBerrylicious.

Cari Locken decided to use papers from a wedding collection (To Love & Cherish) along with the Anchor stamp from Splash Dance. She also used the Frame Snag 'Em stamp from Garden Party.
