OCC Challenge - A Pet Parade

Hello OCC Friends! We would like to thank all those that played along in last week's sketch challenge, your samples were so inspiring!! Before we start with the challenge, we would like to announce the winner for The Cat's Pajamas - "Happy Camper" giveaway. Congratulations to Martha Stewart of Seasons of Stamping. Please email us your address so we can get your goodies out to you.

This week our July hostess, Jenny Gropp, has challenged the OCC to create a Parade of cards or a project using "Pets" as the focus... a cat or dog, or other animal image. There is no time limit on our challenges - feel free to participate whenever you are able. To play along, upload your creation to your blog or gallery, then leave us a comment linking to your project so we can check it out. If you upload to SCS, remember to use keyword: OCCC.

This week as a treat for playing in the Challenge, we have a $25 gift certificate up for grabs from Dog Gone Stamps that will be awarded to someone that joins in this week's challenge. A very big Thank you to Nancy at Dog Gone Stamps for hosting this week's prize and for creating some totally wonderful stamps that capture and celebrate our pets!

We also have a guest designer with us this week. Please welcome Robin Kirkpatrick, with her cute kitty creation above! You can find more of Robin's great designs on her cleverly named blog Robin's Rubber Room. Thanks Robin for joining us for this week's challenge!
