OSW Release Challenge! - PRIZE HERE

[Vervegirl]

Happy September!
I can't believe it's just a few short days until our next release! This month I cooked up a very special challenge for you. It's a 6 x 6 OSW (One Sheet Wonder) challenge. I've designed a template and four sketches for you to use. The challenge is to use one 6 x 6" square of double-sided designer paper (plus additional card stock) to make the four cards pictured in the sketches. Now, if you don't have double-sided paper, you can use two 6 x 6" single sheets, or you can make your own paper by stamping on the front and back side of a 6 x 6" piece of paper. In the sketches, the white panels are where you will place your focal stamped image, stamped on whatever cardstock or paper you choose. The most important rule is to have fun. Verve Stamps are not required, but if you've got 'em, why not give 'em some loving?

The PRIZES:
TWO random winners will receive the entire September Release!!! (Five brand spankin' new sets, with a retail value of $63.)
And then FIVE other winners will randomly be chosen to receive one of the new sets.

The DEADLINE:
To be eligible, you must upload using keyword VSSEP08 and link to this post before Noon Mountain time (2 PM ET, 1 PM CT, 11 AM PT, 10 AM Alaska, 8 AM Hawaii) on Tuesday, September 9. Winners will be announced during our release party that night. You may upload the cards individually or as one photograph of all four cards, whichever you prefer.

So are you ready for the template? There's a one page pdf (VSSEP08_Template.pdf) attached below for easy printing on one page. I've also uploaded the sketches and the template to a special album in my gallery for those of you who can't see attachments or have problems with the PDF file. The individual pics of sketches 2 - 4 are attached in post 2 of this thread.

Looks like so much fun, Julee! I hope I get a chance to play on Monday.

What a cool challenge, Julee! I love OSW templates. Now I just have to decide what paper to use

[squirrellyshirley]

Oohhhhh.....I love this challenge and I just got a request for a set of 4 cards.....this is perfect.

OK.....**insert stupid question here**.....what if I have 12x12 double sided paper.....I can just cut it down to 6x6 and voila...right??

Thanks for the chance at FREEEEEEEEEEE stamps, You ROCK, Julee!!

Hey Julee! Not much goin on here. Was in a total stampin slump for most of the summer. Just started making stuff again the last couple weeks. I did get a bunch of outdoor projects done this summer.

How have you been? Looks like the stamp biz is going well. I read your blog all the time, but for some reason my computer dosen't want to let me post on there.

[scrapsbym]

Julie, this challenge rocks!! I can't wait to get to it!!

[Alberta]

This is a challenge that I'm definitely gonna make time for. I'm going to enjoy sinking my teeth into this one. Let the games begin...LOL!

It does say that Verve stamps are not required. Good thing since I don't have any yet either.

Great challenge Julee! I have two done so far. I must be lame today as it has taken me hours to finish the first two! I had piled a load of pink/brown on my desk a week ago to do the project parade with and never got it done, so I am using that now. Better late than never!
