I was really honored when Jana asked me to be the WICKED CHALLENGE HOSTESS for the month of May. If you are scratching your head, thinking what on earth is Qbee talking about... WICKED?? CHALLENGES?? WHAT?? ... then perhaps you haven't been introduced to the WICKED CHALLENGE FORUM on the DEMO SIDE of SPLITCOASTSTAMPERS. The WICKED CHALLENGES kicked off last August with our very own JanTInk as hostess. Every month a new hostess is chosen to challenge demos to three stamping challenges. This month I have chosen a color challenge, a 3D challenge and a sketch challenge.

NOW I am extending a challenge to ALL my Stampin' Up Blog Mates. I challenge you to do at least ONE of MAY'S WICKED CHALLENGES. The main requirement is that the products used in the challenge must be current Stampin' Up! products. Therefore these challenges are a great way to see Stampin' Up! only samples and get ideas for Stampin' Up! only projects for our workshops. I hope that you will have time to participate.

Color Challenge: Riding Hood Red, Baja Breeze, So Saffron
Stamps: Petal Pizzazz, Wonderful Favorites; Paper: Riding Hood Red, Sahara Sand, Whisper White, Sweet Slumber Specialty DP; Ink: Riding Hood Red, Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss, So Saffron; Accessories: Big Shot, Top Note Die, Baja Breeze Corduroy Button, Button Latte, Natural Hemp Twine, Clear Rhinestone Brad, Hodgepodge Hardware, Valet Ribbon Originals, Sponge Dauber

Sketch Challenge: For the sketch click HERE
Stamps: Owl Together Now; Paper: Pacific Point, Chocolate Chip, Summer Sun, Old Olive, Good Morning Sunshine DP; Ink: Pacific Point, Chocolate Chip, Summer Sun, Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze; Accessories: Big Shot, Texturz Impressions and Silicone Rubber Pads, Texture Plates Kit #4, Kiwi Kiss 5/8" Striped Grosgrain, Hooray Designer Hardware Brad, Silver Brads

Thanks for looking....
