Lisa made a festive centerpiece from a tv tray purchased from a thrift store. She used the pumpkin and dragonfly die cuts to make frosted tea light holders from glass jars! Click here to jump to her blog to see more!

And here are projects from the design team. Mary asked us to include a "repurposed" item on our designs. Can you guess the different items we used?

SSCB#37 Thankful

Welcome to the Serendipity Stamps Challenge Blog! We love seeing what you make with your Serendipity Stamps and Dies. Once a month (on the first Wednesday) we post a new challenge with a central theme. The design team provides samples for inspiration at the beginning, and then again at the half way point of the challenge (on the third Wednesday), but you get the whole month to join us!

The rules are simple... play along using at least one Serendipity Stamps image on your submission and link it below. You don't have to have a blog to play along - you can link your designs to any on line gallery. In fairness to other players, we reserve the right to remove entries that do not display a Serendipity Stamps image.

*****
Our winner from last challenge is Sophie LaFontaine! She colored the scarecrow image beautifully and isn't that border of dots on the frame wonderful? She made them with a pencil eraser!!

The lucky winner of the $20 gift certificate is Amy Marshall

Ladies, please contact Jeanne at serendipityblogchallenge@gmail.com for your prize.
