Stampers 6 Challenge......

OMG was the reaction i had from some members of my Stampers 6 when i sent them all out a little package with a basic kit inside! I would love to show you a pic of the kit that i sent out but i cant find it anywhere on my computer!!! ive been looking for it for about the last half hour. Each member was sent out the same basic kit, there were a few rules

1.Every element in the kit had to be used
2. Only 1 ink colour was allowed
3. Only One punch and a sponge dauber if they wanted to was allowed

 its just a bit of fun and one of the many things i do with my stampers 6 club members. The other is freebies ! lol
