Good morning SCT readers! Are you ready for a pretty exciting week? We are now just days away from the release of the spring issue AND CardMaps Today 2, and we are also putting all the finishing touches on our sold out Crop & Create in Winnipeg! And if you have not seen the sneak peeks of the amazing classes...have a look here! We cannot wait to meet all these fun ladies!
Of course this week is also exciting because we have the ever-talented and fabulous Kelly Purkey joining us as a guest designer...
"Hi everyone, it's Kelly Purkey here with a layout to share and a challenge to go along with it!
I created this layout using my new Studio Calico March kit and really fell in love with the map paper from Crate Paper. To make it my own, I used my alphabet stamps to stamp out the names of the neighborhoods on the paper. Instead of using ink pads, I stamped using Mister Huey's spray mist and dipped my stamps in that. This week I challenge you to play with your alphabet stamps - whether you create a title for a layout, make a cool background out of letters, or stamp out your journaling. Have fun and happy stamping!
~ Kelly Purkey

Love how the stamping looks.
