Everything old is new again.  Or in this case vintage.  Our challenge is all about using old stamps.  So we are giving you a challenge to use a vintage theme with your older stamps!  Use vintage paper, vintage looking stamps or a vintage theme to be able to join the challenge!

Remember to use a stamp older than a year and you must include the age (or approximate age) of the stamp in your blog post. After all – we want to give these old stamps some love!

Are you on Facebook?  If you share our challenge on your Facebook page, we will happily share your post!

To be considered for a Top Pick and to receive comments - be sure to link your card below!

Be sure to play along with us! This challenge ends May 4, 2018.

We are excited to welcome Cathy Roffey as our guest designer for this challenge!  Cathy has a delightful blog called Cathy's Card Spot.  She creates sweet treasures masked as cards!  Cathy makes stunning clean and simple/layered cards that are truly a gift of talent to the recipient.  Be sure to stop by and leave some love for this very creative cardmaker!

Enjoy the inspiration of the design team!
