CHAGB Challenge #5 Pick A Stamp, Any Stamp

Hi Sweet Friends and welcome to Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge Blog's Challenge #5 Pick A Stamp, Any Stamp.

You don't have to be a card maker to hoard stamps!  With the popularity of pocket-style scrapbooking and the explosion of journaling stamps on the market, many scrapbookers have also become stamp hoarders.  Plus, digital stamps are more popular than ever!  I am sure that most of us have at least one stamp in our stash!  You may "collect" wood mounted stamps, clear stamps, cling rubber, or even digital!  Get one out, dust if off, and make it the STAR of your project!  We want ot see a stamp (senitment, word art, image, etc.) as the focal point of your project!  Feel free to use more than one stamp, but you must have AT LEAST ONE stamped item on your project!
Hampton Arts is our sponsor for April and one talented participant will receive this prize, donated by Hampton Arts!  The GoGo Crafter rooling tote is collapsible, allowing it to be shipped and stored flat.  It comes with two wheels and a sturdy retractable handle for transporting.  It also has interior dividers that are adjustable, removable, two interior pockets, 3 exterior side pockets for supplies and a zippered front area.  The tote can hold enough itmes for an evening crop or be a helpful "companion" at trade shows or expos.  Hampton Art founded in 1980 in picturesque Long Island, has been inspiring stampers, crafters, and paper craft enthusiats for over 20 years.  One of the earliest "art stamp: companies, Hampton Art has transformed over the years to become a complete provider of creative products such as stamps, inks, etc.
