May Challenge - Theme and Sketch

Hello, hello, fellow stampers! It's the first Friday of the month and you know what that means -- we have a new theme and sketch! Thanks to all who played in last month's challenge. There were 64 beautiful entries! We're going to announce the winner and top picks on Wednesday, May 10, together with all of last month's challenge and blog hop winners.

We'd love for you to create and link up your projects based on this month's theme, sketch, or both -- you've got the whole month of May to play :o)

Our theme is STAMPS & ALPHABET. Lots of possibilities here -- designer paper with alphabet backgrounds, alphabet dies, big letters, one letter (or two, or a few!), alphabet blocks, big word sentiments...If you end up with a card that's also clean and simple, make sure to link it up to the May CAS Card Challenge.

And here's our fun sketch to get inspired by as well:
