Challenge 11 - Dad

Time sure is flying!  I can't believe we're almost in June - soon be time to start Christmas Cards.  Not quite though.  Our challenge this time is 'Dad' which is apt because the finishing date is the week before Father's Day in the UK.  Traditionally, we get a lot of entries to this challenge, so please don't be disappointed if we don't get around to comment on your card.  All cards get looked at for our top 3 and all cards go into the draw.

Our challenge this time is sponsored by Dr Digi's House of Stamps and the prize is 2 digis of your choice.

Welcome to the brilliantly bizarre brain of Dr. Digi's House of Stamps. Here you will find Monsters, Aliens, 
Odd balls and Dundertons as well as many many more wonderful digital stamps. Our artist and founder cut 
his teeth in the craft world at the company "Just Inklined", where his unique digis made a huge impression. 
We're hoping to continue to entertain and amuse, with our growing catalogue of great value digis with
a sense of humour.

The Design Team got some great images to work with, here's what we came up with:
