Well done to the three of you. Feel free to grab the 'Top 3' blinkie from the sidebar and display it on your own. Don't forget to take a look at Challenge 8 - Fancy Folds.
Challenge No. 8
Challenge no 8 is sponsored by Fresh Brewed Designs which is owned by the wonderful Heather Dennis. I asked Heather about herself and FBD and here is what she had to say....
Hi. I am Heather Dennis. I am a homeschooling mother of 2 wonderful children, the wife of 12 years to the love of my life, a Christian and the owner of Fresh Brewed Designs. I have loved to draw and create ever since I was a child. My daughter has inherited my love of art and recently inspired me to start creating again.
All the images in my shop are hand drawn. I offer a wide range of images from coffee, cute and inspirational.I also love to create custom drawn images, so if you are looking for anything in particular, please feel free to drop me an email.
The prize up for grabs is a $10 gift certificate to spend at Fresh Brewed Designs and our theme this time is 'Fancy Folds'. By that we mean anything other than a basic bi-fold card. Of course there's also the golden rule of being for a man/boy.

I made a but of a 'booboo' this week and neglected to give the Design Team all the details until yesterday when Shirley prompted me for the missing information. Consequently, some may be a bit delayed in posting their card but here are some initial ideas for inspiration.
I'll add in the other DT cards as I get them but hopefully we've given you some ideas. The details are on each person's individual blog.
