Hello July! It is time for a new challenge. Thanks to everyone who participated in the sympathy challenge. They are hard cards to make, so inspiration is always appreciated. The winner of the blog badge was Donna Phelan on the Crafting By the Beach blog. We loved her card layout and design:

The random winner from the entries who won the prize pack was Vicki from the He"artful" Validation of Vicki blog.
Please contact me at [email protected] with your full name and US address to claim your prize.
Want to play along in this month's challenge? The rules are simple - just create a project following the theme, use at least one Memory Box stamp or die on your project and link your entry to this blog post. You can make a card, a scrapbook page, a home decor item, etc.. To encourage participants with various levels of stamping experience, one entry will be selected at random to win a prize. Enter as many times as you want, but your name will only be entered once into the random prize drawing. In addition, the design team will select their favorite entry to be highlighted on the Outside the Box blog and that designer will receive our winner badge to proudly display on their blog.
You don't have to have a blog in order to participate. You can upload your project to any online gallery and link it to this post. In fairness to other players, we reserve the right to remove entries that do not use at least one Memory Box product. You are also welcome to link your design to other challenges. Feel free to grab our badge to post on your blog post or side bar.
Please note, because of issues with shipping internationally, only domestic entries will be eligible to be shipped prizes. We are so very sorry that we had to add this stipulation.

I don't know about where you are, but it is sure hot here! It is hard to think about anything other than Summer. With that in mind, we challenge you to make a project with summer vibes. How do you view summer? Is it the beach? BBQ with the neighbors? Baseball games? Ice cream trucks? There are so many themes. What about colors? Do certain colors make you think of the season? There are so many possibilities! We would love to see your take on a summer themed card. All we ask is that your card sends some sort of reference to summer and that you use at least one Memory Box product.
Here are some samples to help inspire you:
