A way for me to get to know you better.

A way for bloggers to get to know each other better and a way for challenges to be recognized!

An outlet to see the creative possibilities of one stamp set!

Simple, honest to goodness fun!

Here's basically how it works: Same stamp set. Same challenge. Same post date. Same post time.

Karen and I decided on playing in the JUGS Color Challenge

We also decided on using SRM Stickers.....we used the Forever set:
