September OSC’s Mid-Month Inspiration

Welcome to One Sweet Challenge’s (OSC) mid-month inspiration for our September challenge. Our theme is “Halloween.” If you do not want to make a project with a Halloween theme, then your project should have orange, green, purple, AND black incorporated in the design.  (Note: the “AND” is in all caps.) Please enter above or click here. Remember, if you are using a Sweet Pea Stamps (SPS) image, post twice (read the challenge rules on the side bar). Our prize is 3 digital images of the winner's choice, if you used a current SPS in-store rubber stamp or digital image, one digital image if you do not use an SPS image.

We think that our OSC designers have enjoyed this theme. Let the fun begin…


Annie’s beautiful fall card using ching-chou kuik’s Autumn Harvest.
Autumn Harvest is available as a rubber stamp or digital image.




Bonnie’s mixed-media piece is Halloween Witch with Two Cats by Molly Harrison.
This cutie is available as a digital image.




Carolyn’s card was created with Molly Harrison’s Vampire with Cat.
Vampire with Cat is available as a digital image.




Audrey used Halloween Greetings by Lemon Shortbread.
Halloween Greetings is available as a rubber stamp or in digital format.



Vannessa has created a layered card with Elaine Cox’s Starry Halloween.
This image is in rubber or digital format.




Debbie has created her card with Beautiful Wisdom coloring page by Karen Middleton.
This coloring page is available in digital format.


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 is sponsoring. Here’s another chance to win more SPS goodness.


Thanks for stopping by!
