Challenge #8 - Anything Goes
Good Morning Crafters, sorry this is a bit late but Donna is unable to write up this challenge and asked me Shirley if I would do it for her, and as I dont know her Inlinz password I wont be able to add it at the bottom but if you leave a link in the comments box Im sure Donna will add the Inlinz as soon as she is able.
Todays Challenge is a "Anything Goes" one and I know how much we all love this one so we are expecting a big turn out for it, but before I go any further two of our Design Team have had to stand down because of prior engagements and they are Viv and Sandra, we are so going to miss both of these very talented girls, but all the Team want to wish them all the best for the future.
And now we have a brand new sponsor this fortnight and that is

and they are offering a fabulous prize of 4 digi's of Winners Choice
and here is what Bethany says about her company:-
Hi
my name is Beth, I am 19 years old and am studying a Degree in illustration at
Blackpool University.
I
started drawing images for my Mum , who made cards with them and then she put
them on her blog . She got lots of great comments and people saying i should
sell them - so here we are !
I
hope you enjoy my images and would love to see any creations you make with
them
We were so lucky to have been given several images to play with and the team have taken that on board and have created some stunning cards with them.
Didnt I tell you what stunning cards they were? Anyway as we are now two girls down on our Design Team, and Donna has decided to run a DT Call at the same time as the Challenge, so if you are interested in joining our very talented Design Team, and you able to create a card every fortnight following a theme that is set, and also have it uploaded to the DT Blog in time for the Challenge to be posted on the Monday, please can you add DT at the end of your name on your entry.
And now please dont forget to visit the girls and thank them for all their hard work and leave them some love to show how much you appreciate it.
Donna will add the inlinkz as soon as she is able to, can you put your card link in the comment box until she does. Sorry for the inconvience and don't forget to add DT if your interested in joining us.
If you don't know how to add your card here is the code
<a href="Insert your link">here</a> You insert your card link in the
space indicated, you write this whole code in the comment box at the bottom of this Challenge, then click on publish.
Edit: Thank you so much Shirley for stepping in at the last minute. Sadly my Grandad passed away last Monday so you can understand why I've taken a back seat this week. I have now entered Mr Linky in and will make sure everyone's cards are linked up with a number before the draw. The normal challenge rules apply and the finish date is midnight BST (British Summer Time) on 29th April 2013. - Donna xx

Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: A
Short Essay
As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was
not enough of a challenge,Jodie
Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of
papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two
years ago. TodayBugaboo Stamps is one of
the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing! From seriously
snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side
of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to
create your paper projects. Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and
Freebies every week!
If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can
find Bugaboo Stampsstamps
at Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT for
weekly challenges at Catch the Bug.
