I saw her cards and immediately thought of how wonderful this is for new stampers with a limited supplies of stamps. Remember how long it took to collect enough to actually feel like you could make something? Let's help our new stamping friends. Here's what you'll need... along with the directions ;)
STAMPS: one image set, 1-2 BGs, sentiment set optional
CARDSTOCK AND INK: one neutral and 2-3 colors
ACCESSORIES: any
DIRECTIONS: Make 2-4 cards using the SAME main image and color scheme. Things that can change to make each card unique are backgrounds, layouts, and accessories. The main idea is to get many different looks using one main image. It can also show the importance of backgrounds and layouts on cards... how it can really make a card great and/or how it can really change the look of an image for a totally new card.
UPLOADING: Scan or take a picture of all the cards together and call it "Which one?" In the comments section, you may want to ask viewers to tell you which one is their fave. *Don't forget to put LSC48 in the keyword box!* Have fun stamping! Can't wait to get home from work to see your wonderful creations!
What a great idea, Jenn! I'm not usually lerking on here this late...but I see I can think about something when I go sleep tonight! I was waiting & waiting for my uploads to approve & that was about three hrs. ago now!!
I'll be back tomorrow...maybe they'll have it fixed?

I've been waiting for 4 hours for approval... I guess I need a lesson in patience
I love this challenge idea! It always takes me so long to get my stuff out and I make such a mess in the process, I am not sure why I never thought to do more than 1 card at a time (except for those rare moments when I make a set for someone.) And this challenge will also encourage me to use a few sheets of cardstock completely, instead of having random scraps hanging around. I hope I get to this today!

Great challenge--good thing I didn't look before bed, I never would have slept. Instead I would have had visions of perfect plum dancing in my head! LOL

Great idea for this challenge Jen!! My DS is home sick too (something's definitely going around) so he'll watch movies while I stamp - not a bad deal I'd say!!!
Location: In my Happy Place with no one bothering me....I hope!

Here's mine! I already had the flowers stamped from a project I had started so I thought they would be perfect for this challenge!! Can't wait to see everyone's cards!! Two cards (at least) for every post!! I love it!!
Ohh, I like this one! I always encourage my stampers, "if you sit down to make one card, make at least 4". It only takes a few minutes longer, you don't feel the "loss" when you give that card away since you have extras, and many stampers don't have a room/area set up all the time. This encourages them to get the stuff out and use their time better! Anyhooo...off to think up an idea. BTW, my DD has been home sick all week (gross wet cough) so something is definetly going around.
Whew! Had a lot of fun doing a set of 4 with one set! Coming up with layout ideas is always the most challenging.
Here is my first Limited Suppy Challenge submission. see it here
Can I just say that when I got jen70's e-mail that I inspired this week's challenge I just about peed my pants!!! I've only been stamping less than a year but I have so much fun!! I only wish I had more time to stamp - Isn't that just about everyone's complaint?!!
