Welcome to the October Sweet Pea Challenge!

To get everyone back into the swing of things we are going to do mix things up! This month's challenge will be Anything Goes! For this month only we are dropping the requirement of using a Sweet Pea image and will allow any rubber stamped image (no digis). If you do use a Sweet Pea Stamps image then you will receive two entries into the random drawing at the end of the round.

So get out your stamps and bring on the mojo!

The winner will receive a $10 gift certificate to the Sweet Pea Stamps store!
