Banana Split Sunday - Spell It Out

Banana Split Sunday is here again :)

Last week's challenge was the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle challenge. Thank you so much for playing along with us and sharing your fabulous creativity and creative ways to reduce, reuse and recycle!! It's a great thing!!

This week's challenge is called "Spell It Out". We want to see the way you use sticker letters. We all have them, but I know I don't always use mine and I need some new ideas for them :) And if you don't have any or enough, you can find some at 2RedBananas. Just click here :)

The prize this week is 3 different sheets of sticker letters from 2RedBananas that we have chosen just for this challenge. Just create something using sticker letters and link it to this post using Mr. Linky by next Saturday, August, 1, 2009.

To get you started, here are some fabulous cards by our design team.

# 2 Gloria M.!

Way to go Gloria - congratulations! Please send me your address and your choice of one of the 2RedBananas exclusive July releases and I will get your package out to you. Thanks so much for playing along in our challenge.

This week's challenge is called "Reduce, Recycle and Reuse". I don't know about you, but I try really hard to do what is within my power to conserve. I love taking my own bags to stores and simple things like that. Within my scrapping space, I really don't like to throw things away, so re-using is good for me :) You can use anything that goes along with this theme for your project.

Here are some cards by the design team:

Deb

Jeanette

Now for some very EXCITING news! For those of you who are active on the SplitCoastStampers site, you know they have an ongoing 'design team'. Each month, 2 new stampers are chosen to be part of the Dirty Dozen for a term of 6 months, and there are 12 members that serve at a time. Last month our very own Deb Felts was chosen to be a "Dirty Girl" and this month they added Jami Bova as a "Dirty Girl". I just am so excited for both of them. You can click on their name to go to their SCS Gallery and see their very cool projects!

That's it for today, please scroll down to play along in our sketch challenge for this week! Have a great day!

Here they are :)

Teresa and Cassie both used the same quote from the set "More Quotes". It is a quote from Albus Dumbledore from the Harry Potter series of books and movies. I love what they both have done here. Teresa used a film strip die cut to mat the quote, so creative!!

Teresa
