July SPS Challenge is Now!

We hope that everyone had a great weekend. To all of our friends and fans in the United States, we also hope that you had a fantastic 4^th of July.

Before we get the July challenge started, we want to announce the winner for our June “Dies and/or Punches” challenge. Thanks so much for everyone’s continued support. We had 117 entries this time around.

The winner for the June 2015 SPS challenge is #41 Ginny. Ginny has won one digital image of her choice for her beautiful project from Sweet Pea Stamps online store. Thanks so much for entering and congratulations! Please email me, Aletha, at ajsdesigns@cox.net for your instructions on receiving your winnings. In the subject line please state “June SPS Winner” please. Don’t forget your badge that can be found in our right side bar.

Our theme for July is “Christmas in July.” If you are a crafter or an artist, now is that time of the year that we all starting planning for Christmas or the winter holidays.

Thanks so much to our amazing designers. Remember the third Monday of July you will see more art work for the “Christmas in July” challenge. I also want to remind you that our prizes are three digital images if the winner uses an SPS image, or one digital image if the winner does not use an SPS image. Can you give me one good reason why you would not want to use an SPS image? This challenge will end on August 1. Use the page above for your entries or click here.

Did you know…?

In our Sweet Pea Stamps Facebook group we have a progressive challenge every two weeks. First, we have a call for projects using any Sweet Pea Stamps image that is available in the store. That theme is “anything goes.” Then those entries will receive a digital image FREE of charge, chosen by our leader and SPS store owner Lynette, for Part Two of the progressive challenge. With that FREE digital image you are asked to make a project and enter it in Part Two. Random.org will pick the winner of Part Two. That winner will receive another digital image of the winner’s choice from the SPS store. Even if you don’t enter our progressive challenge, we hope you will stop by for inspiration and share your Sweet Pea Stamps art.

The Sweet Pea Stamps Designers blog showcases Sweet Pea goodness every day. Need a little pick me up for your creative mojo, or sometimes to view a video, stop by, like I said, “every day.” You can also find out the challenge blogs that Sweet Pea Stamps are sponsoring. Here’s another chance to win more SPS goodness.

Thanks for stopping by!
