SPARKLE CREATION RUBBER STAMPS - Challenge SCRS74 and Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #149

Hello friends and welcome to Week 1 of Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps Challenge #74! We appreciate you taking the time to join our challenge and look forward to seeing your creations each week. You have until Sunday, 3/11/12 @ 9 PM PST to play along with the current challenge, which is to use at least a number on your creation.

For my card today I used the adorable NEW EASTER RUBY. After I finished this card on Sunday I realized that I used almost the same exact patterned paper on this card as I did when I previewed this stamp the first of the month. Sorry peeps. This paper goes so well with this image though. We are also sponsoring this week's CUPCAKE INSPIRATION CHALLENGE #149 and I used the colors in the inspiration pic to color Easter Ruby. Here is my card and this week's Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #149 pic.

Our challenge is open to all players. Each week a random winner will be chosen, and this week's winner will receive CELEBRATING CHLOE . In order to qualify for a prize, you must use a Sparkle Creations image on your creation. Most importantly, have fun! We can't wait to see your creations!

To play along in our challenge, upload a photo of your project and provide a direct link in the linky widget at the bottom of the SCRS post. If you use an online gallery (e.g. Splitcoast), please also use the keywords SCRSC74 and SparkleCreations (no spaces). If you have a Facebook account and are a fan of Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps, you can also upload there. Deadline for challenge #74 is Sunday, March, 11th @ 9 PM PST.

Thanks for stopping by today friends. I hope you have lots of fun with our challenge.
