Color It!





SPONSOR

My Scrapbook Nook is an international community serving scrapbookers around the world! Our kits are loaded with the latest and greatest products in the scrapping industry, always balanced and creatively designed to help you in your creative journey! We draw from a variety of manufacturers, favoring textures, patterns and concepts that complement and enhance the paper line of the month.

Our kits are one of the best deals in the industry as we load them up with as much scrappy goodness as we can find, and always charge only $28. Our kit club members always save 10%-25% per month on the total cost of the items in the kit! Our kits usually contain 10-15 sheets of patterned paper, cardstock, an alphabet, small and large embellishments including items like: ribbons and lace, flowers, pearls, buttons, rub ons, journaling aids, chipboard accents & more!

We have an active, welcoming Message Board where are chatty designers and customers swap ideas and make friends! We host many virtual crops (with prizes!), swaps & challenges every year to help you get motivated to scrapbook. It is truly a community of creative caring. We hope you will join us there!

Circle of Friends




Clear and Simple Stamps is a clear polymer stamp company based out of Maryland. We are a mother-daughter duo who hand illustrate each of our signature stamp sets and oversee the design process from beginning to end. Each owner is a fashion and graphic designer by trade, and both have an equal passion for the art of stamping.

Our signature line is our Simple Darlings™ and Simple Gents™. We have a growing collection of fun stamps that we hope you will find unique and inspiring to work with. We design all of our stamps in-house, and cannot wait to see your fabulous creations – or what we like to call your “divalicious style” shine through when creating with Clear and Simple Stamps!


CHALLENGE

Create a *NEW* round card with pizazz! Link us to your entry by November 17th at Midnight PST. When linking via Mr. Linky, be sure to link us to your blog post, not your main blog address.
