Mami Doodles is my return to that era, I am again carrying paper, pencil and eraser with me at all times. I draw when I am in the waiting room at the doctor's, on holidays and mostly, waiting for my children's activities to finish.

I hope some of the joy I have on creating these images show in the final result." - you just have to pop on over to the shop and have a look....there is a great photo in the "About Me" section!!!! Just saying!

For this challenge we are so excited to have Sassy Cheryls as our sponsor.

Here is a little bit about them...
"Hi everyone! Sassy Cheryl here and I’m so happy to be sponsoring the Aud Sentiments challenge this week. I have been creating graphics and have licensed my work to companies such as Kohl's, Hobby Lobby and Shopko, among others, for over six years. I started creating digital images about ten ago. I absolutely LOVE to draw and always carry a small sketchbook for those times when a bit of inspiration hits. It's been a lifelong dream to become a working artist, and besides deadlines, I LOVE everything about what I do! It really helps that I have a very supportive husband and son (they also can be my biggest critics!) Through the digis I create, I’ve met so many wonderful, talented ladies. The projects they make using my images makes it all worth it. ‘Can’t wait to see what you will create with my Sassy images. "

We have another gorgeous sentiment from Paulette of TLC. Remember if you use this sentiment for the challenge be sure to enter your name with Mr. Linky twice for the drawing! Just right click the image to save it.

OK, now onto the challenge. We are doing an "Anything Goes" challenge because it's time for another DT call! If you are interested in joining our team all you have to do is put DT next to your name.

I would love to see anything that anyone makes, using my images :) I also have a challenge blog, where you are more than welcome to join me and my awesome design team. http://daisydoodlescreativechallenges.blogspot.com/"

For this challenge we welcome Di's Digi Downloads. They have the most adorable digis! You should definitely take a look around the store. They are giving the winner 5 digis of their choice! Thanks so much!

Here is a little bit about them...
"I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with likeminded people.
I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.
This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!"

The challenge is a card/sentiment for a girl.

Our sponsor for this challenge is Digi Chick. What a fun company! You should pop over there and take a look. They let the entire DT choose products to use and we all had do much fun with them. Their kits have everything!

Here is a little bit about the company and their products...

"We're a digital scrapbooking community that exists to encourage, inspire and celebrate life's little moments with you. What is digital scrapbooking? Well, it's a bit like traditional paper scrapbooking, except that your layouts are created on your computer with dots and pixels instead of glue and scissors. It's an extremely versatile medium and we're sure you'll find that it's also quite addicting once you start to play around with it!
We work with .jpg papers and .png elements that will easily open in any photo-editing software, like Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements or Paint Shop Pro. You can change the colors of your supplies to suit your needs and fix mistakes with the magical undo button. And once you've created a page, you can easily share your layouts with friends and family on-line, as well as send off your work to be printed and bound into a family album. Or you can print off your digital supplies to use with your paper stash. There's a lot you can do with digital scrapbooking! So, come on in and check out what we're all about."

The sentiment for this challenge is NO SENTIMENT.

This is a great chance to make some all occasion cards, gift packaging and gifts.

We have another fabulous video from Catherine Pooler.

For more information on the products used in this video please visit Catherine's website. Catherine also has an upcoming series of 4 videos and the first 1 can be seen here. Be sure to check it out!

"Hi everyone! Sassy Cheryl here and I’m so happy to be sponsoring the Aud Sentiments challenge this week. I have been creating graphics and have licensed my work to companies such as Kohl's, Hobby Lobby and Shopko, among others, for over six years. I started creating digital images about ten ago. I absolutely LOVE to draw and always carry a small sketchbook for those times when a bit of inspiration hits. It's been a lifelong dream to become a working artist, and besides deadlines, I LOVE everything about what I do! It really helps that I have a very supportive husband and son (they also can be my biggest critics!) Through the digis I create, I’ve met so many wonderful, talented ladies. The projects they make using my images makes it all worth it. ‘Can’t wait to see what you will create with my Sassy images. "

The theme for this challenge is ANYTHING GOES!

This is perfect for all you trying out for the team to really show us what you love to make!

They have the cutest images. You should definitely go check them out. They are giving the winner $10 Gift Certificate to the store.

Here is a little bit about them...

"Digi Doodle Shop is the results of a mother and daughter’s love for the arts and crafts. It was started just a couple of months ago with a little more than 100 stamps, and has since then grown to over 250 stamps - now available. Joy (the mother of this team) designs realistic images, while I (Judy aka/daughter) love the “fun side of life”, and create images with cartoon flair. Having these two complimenting styles have enabled Digi Doodle Shop to offer just about any type of stamp. Plus, we also offer “custom made stamps”, and blog designs. Our best work comes from request, so if you don’t see what you’re looking for, just send us an email and before long you’ll see it in the shop. It is a real honor and pleasure to sponsor this challenge, and we look forward to seeing all the amazing creations. We thank the design team for their incredible creations, and wish all the participants the very best of luck in this challenge. Thank you so much for having us, and again the very best of luck to all of you. Sincerely, Judy and Joy"

This time around we are lucky enough to have Sassy Studios as our sponsor again. They have such fun images to play with as you will see from the wonderful work of the DT.

Here is a little bit about Sassy Studios...

"Sassy Studio Designs is a fresh new company. We have been designing and selling for a year now, and we have been kindly received into the community of digi stampers and crafters. I started designing images shortly after I started stamping, reason being...I didn't hardly like anything else out there I was a young adult woman at the time I was engaged, had no kids, I wanted fun sexy images that I would enjoy using and my friends and hubby would enjoy receiving. I designed images for 2 other digi stamp companies when my wonderful hubby kept trying to get me to go out on my own. So in June 2009 thanks to the few faithful followers I had, Sassy Studio Designs was born! It has been a wonderful journey starting my own store. We have just grown so much these past months.I still try to keep Lindsay Dyer: keep with my original philosophy and reason for designing stamps, make them fun and keep them sassy...and yes sometimes even sexy! Lindsay"

They are giving the winner 4 digi images of your choice.

For this challenge we want to see Get Well cards. These are always good to have on hand so let's see your beautiful creations!

Before I start this longer than usual post I want to first thank everyone for such a wonderful Anything Does DT Call turnout. It is going to be a tough decision. We will announce the winners by Friday. I didn't get a chance to comment on the last half of the entries and for that I apologize. I have had that awful stomach flu. I did look at each and every one of them though I promise. I feel really bad about not commenting. One of the things that I love best about having this challenge blog is visiting and commenting on every one's creations and when I don't get to do that it really bothers me so please accept my apologies.

OK, enough of that. Onto the winners of the challenge...
