I Brake For White Out! IBFCC#13

HELLLLLOOOOOO, Stampers!!! In honor of our East Coast friends, we sponsoring a brand new challenge and our theme is: White Out!

But, first, join me in congratulating our winner from last week: Jennifer Scull! Please contact Della, within the next two weeks, at ibrakeforstamps@yahoo.com to claim your prize :)

So.......what IS a White Out challenge? Just what it sounds like........no white (or cream colored) cardstock. You'll have to think outside of the box and/or pull out some great techniques that shun the white colored cardstock. I know you can do it!! Our designers have shared some great samples for your inspiration and, now, it's your turn!

We have, but a few simple rules:

1. Have Fun

2. Link your project back to our post here.

3. Tell all your friends ;)

4. Have FUN!!

YES!!! I love Halloween---who amongst you has enough Halloween stamps to craft for a month or two with no repeats?? I'm not sure why, but I am extremely attracted to Halloween images--not even the spooky stuff! I love all the kiddie, candy, costume-y images. How about you? It's time to strut your stuff for Halloween! That's our theme for this challenge--let's see what you got:

Remember, our rules are simple---you MUST have fun, you MUST link back to our challenge blog in your project post, and you MUST have fun.....oh, did I say that already? We don't require the use of IBFS images, buy why wouldn't you want to? Be sure to check out the IBFS store for all the Halloween goodies you can handle!
