Clearly Inspired Challenges #15 (CIC15) - Gratitude

Winner for CIC # 14 posted below or click --->HERE<---

**********************************************************************************************************

Hi friends!  Welcome to our 15th challenge.  Last month we got you in the birthday mode and I hope you got lots of birthday cards in your stash so we thought we would continue with the "staples" theme.

***********************************************************************************

So July's theme and challenge is all about showing our gratitude by making THANK YOU themed cards.  The one requirement that we are asking for with this theme is to have some sort of THANK YOU or GRATITUDE type of sentiment on your card.

*************************************************************************************

Here are the basic details for our challenges, they are sweet and simple and 

one of you will definitely go away with a prize.

• These challenges will occur the 1st Friday of the Month
  
• You have until the following 1st Friday of the next month to link your project using Mr. Linky (below)
• Challenges will vary each and every time
• Your work is important so there will be 5 Inspirational Cards/Projects chosen to be featured here.
• Use CDstamps if you have them... IF NOT PLEASE PLAY ANYWAY... use what you have!
• We even have a Free Digital Image for you  to use as well. Click HERE with full instructions and a tutorial on how to use it.
  
• A PRIZE will be awarded to a randomly chosen winner of an entire set of New Release Stamps from the sets released on July 1st or August 1st (your choice)
  
• If you upload to Splitcoast Stampers or another online gallery please use CIC15 as one of your keywords
• Multiple Entries are welcome.

This Challenge will close on August 5th and a winner announced on August 6th along with the new challenge post.

thanks for this challenge. it gives you cards to add to a stash to use in a pinch when you are needing a card and you don't have to go and make one for that occasion. I love Clear Dollar Stamps!!!
Thanks, Heidi Brawley

Hi Lori, I hope I'm posting this in the right place! Thank you for your very kind comments about my Bunny Wabbit card - I would be delighted to have it used as a sample for the digital stamp, thank you so much for asking! I love the CDS digital images which I have just discovered through Vicki. They are especially great for us folk across the pond! Many thanks, hugs Sally x

This is my first challenge with Clearly iStamp. I have several stamps and love them all. I wish I could order all of them but, my DH has me on a tight budget. He tells me, "Do you really need all that stuff"? I say to him, "Well, yes".

I have been making many thank you cards lately. I hope this one fits into your collection.
