You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
I know that we all like to celebrate since we are crafty stampers. In honor of Halloween, let’s give our stamps a switcheroo! What can you do with a simple stamp image? Will your pear become a turkey? Can you make petals into a ladybug? I think my all time favorite was when one creative genius made the “Treat Yourself” gumball machine into an ELEPHANT! J I am sure there are plenty of new ideas for the new stamp sets that have been released in the past few months. Bonus points are awarded to those who can make more than one idea out of the same stamp. Also, today is the last day for the Pink in October Challenge. If you want, add some pink!

LOL...I was just saying to my neighbour yesterday that these out of the box challenges are never easy for me...guess that's why it's called a challenge!
This is one of the most fun ideas I've seen for a challenge! Probably won't be able to play until Saturday, but my DH will be a fantastic help for ideas!!!! I cannot wait to see all of the out of the box creations for this!!!
Such a fun idea! I've never been very good at this sort of thing, which is why I love seeing what you come up with. I'll put my thinking cap on though....
Ok, Dawn, you put the challenge in challenge! These are hard for me and tomorrow will be busy. I will give it some thought and hope to be able to play once I get my idea. Thanks for a good one and Happy Halloween to all.

Gosh that sounds like fun. Hard one to think about in work when I can't look through my stamps in the flesh, but hopefully I'll have come up with an idea before I get home this afternoon.

I'm recovering from the flu and will try and play later, but I wanted to show this one because it fits the challenge both ways. I used Carved & Candlelit as a vase AND it's for think pink month. So, here's one of my favorite oldies:
Curiosity killed the cat! I had to go find that elephant card Dawn was talking about. It was like--looking for an elephant in a card stack! LOL! Here is a link for the rest of you: Gumball Elephant Card by Kare
Love this challenge, Dawn--it's my favorite kind! I don't get to play much these days, but I'm hoping I can find time for this one this weekend.

Well, my wheels starting spinning but it took me down a bumpy road. Then, I hit a pothole and wha-la! This penguin came to mind. So, how'd I do..... Pear Penguin
Thanks for a great challenge, Dawn; and thanks for looking!
