Kaya 24 - Stamp Attack!

I don't know about you, but I always approach stamping with trepidation. That's why I don't have much on my stash except for a couple of items I won in some challenge or something. What's so weird about it is, I love looking at them in someone else's layout!

So while I am the challenger for this month, I am also the one being challenged by myself. Talk about irony, huh? So stay with me and create a traditional 12x12 or 8.5x11 layout incorporating the following:

Guidelines:
1. Any size/number of photos of yourself (may or may not be with other people).
2. Stamp on paper (patterned paper or cardstock) using at least one non-stamp item. Meaning no acrylic or rubber stamps made by manufacturers. Stamping must be visible in the layout.
3. Stamp on embellishments - make or decorate an embellishment (flowers, chipboards, diecuts, etc.) using a discernible stamped image. Time to bring out your rubber and acrylic stamps!
4. You may emboss, color, flock, or chalk your stamped images, but it is not a requirement.
5. In your process write-up, highlight where and how you incorporated stamping in your layout.
6. Layout must be made specifically for Kaya 24.
7. You may submit as many layouts as you want but you will only be entered once in the drawing.
8. Deadline for submissions is on April 29, 2009 at 11:59PM.

The winner will receive this loot:


But wait! There's a Fast Track Challenge!

The first five (5) scrapbookers who are able to submit pronto will have a chance to a random drawing and win a very special prize from the premiere local kit club, Studio Azul! SA was kind enough to throw these in for you:


So, KAYA ba? Here we go!
