Hello, Paper Smooches fans & friends!

Today starts another fun challenge!! Be sure to check the bottom of this post for last week's winner and featured players :) 

When there are 5 weeks in a month, we would like to make the last week's challenge EXTRA fun!! The 5th week of each month will always be an ANYTHING GOES challenge. 

So friends, that's your challenge--create anything!!! Link up as many creations as you would like using Paper Smooches stamps...and be sure to have fun!  

Create a NEW project (card, tag, layout, altered item, etc)

You must use at least one Paper Smooches stamp or free digi

(stamps from other companies can be used, but please make sure that PS images are easily seen)

Post your Paper Smooches SPARKS project on your blog.  We would love you to include our SPARKS banner (shown on the right column) somewhere on your post, but it is not required.  (right click on the SPARKS challenge banner and save to your computer.  If you have any trouble, I am happy to e-mail the image to you)
