Are we really already at challenge #40? Where has time gone?! Time really does fly when you're having fun, doesn't it? A big THANK YOU to each and every one of you that has made this journey so enjoyable! We couldn't do this without you, our faithful participants!
Are you ready for a new cue word?! We're not trying to be cheeky, we promise!
It's your turn to show us what you think of when you think of words! Perhaps it brings to mind an expression, one word, many words, books, sayings, etc! You can get a glimpse of what it made this week's guest designer and the design team think of below! Be sure to visit their blogs to see what they were thinking when they created their cards! You'll find lots of additional inspiration! That's half the fun!
This week, we have a one word sponsor! AMUSE! Chris Franco from Blessings Ink is offering this week's winner this fun, free stamp set:
A brand new 2013 Amuse catalog came out last month, so if you haven't looked it over yet, be sure and check in out on Chris' blog! Their stamping products are fantastic! Oh, and if you feel you "need" a little Amuse therapy, you can start here!
Now let's see all that inspiration we mentioned earlier...

Use sponges to partially ink up a background stamp - that bit of depth helps to anchor the die cuts.
