SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER!  (Did you sing that??)  In honor of all things fun for summer, we have a brand new challenge for you!  Our FLORAL challenge in May netted some fantastic artwork from all of you!  Thank you so much for playing along with us!  Our challenge winner, Katie Tate, did a fantastic job--didn't she?  Please contact Della at ibrakeforstamps@yahoo.com in the next two weeks to claim your prize!

Our challenge for June is Summer Fun!  I'm sure you'll agree with me that our designers have out done themselves again!  With all that inspiration--who wouldn't want to play along?  Remember, you have a full month to upload your challenge.  We announce a new challenge on the first Wednesday of every month--each new challenge also awards a winner from the previous month.

Our rules are few:

1. Have Fun!

2. Please link your project back to this post.
3. Invite all of your friends to play along.
4. Maximum of  two entries per person only, please.

5.  Have Fun!!

Although we do not require the use of I Brake For Stamps images, it makes our heart smile when you do!  You can find some super funny stuff in our Humorous Seniors section or some traditional summer images too!  Be creative--we can hardly wait!

Ready? Set? Go!
