For this challenge we are so excited to have TWO SPONSORS!!!  Thanks so much!


First up is....Doodle Pantry

Here is a little bit about them...


Hello, my name is Laurie.  I am a wife, mother of 2, crafter, and artist of many trades.  I'm just a regular Joe crafter.  I decided it would be FUN to put my images up at affordable prices for anyone to purchase and use for their personal crafting.  It is not my dream to be the biggest or the best or the most popular.  I truly enjoy what I do and enjoy sharing the creativity that God has given me in the hopes it will inspire others to create too.
Each doodle of mine has a special place in my life.  Even if they were done for a special customer request.  I drew it for a certain reason, maybe someone I know whom I had in mind to make a card for, or just someone that inspired me in some way, and sometimes it was just a random thought of a funny little critter doing something critter-ish that I thought would be cute. I have a variety of doodling styles and I like to keep a diverse selection at my hand for my personal creations.
I hope you enjoy creating to your hearts content with some of my doodles.  But if my images don't suit your personal tastes, I sincerely hope something here inspires you to go create something unique that then puts a smile on another's face.~Laurie Wilson

And our second sponsors....Digis by Kris


And a little bit about them....


 Welcome to Imagine That!...digis by Kris™ and also home of Carly's Cuties™

  We're so glad you're here!!  We're a mother/daughter team bringing you our cutest hand-drawn digital images that you can resize, flip, recolor, print and use in your crafting creations!  This store is brand new and we hope to add lots more digis in the coming weeks/months, so please check back often!

OK, now onto the challenge. We want to see a card or project for a child WITH a sentiment! 

Here are the beautiful creations from Team A. Stop by next Thursday for more inspiration from Team B

We are also thrilled to have projects from Doodle Pantry DT members....


Lori

Marsha

Phew!  That is a LOT of inspiration!

So, remember week one of our last challenge we said that a prize had been unclaimed?  We asked you to tell us what to do to improve our challenge blog - we had some great answers...including giving the DT a hug (which has duly been done!).
We have acted on a few of the suggestions already...numbering the challenges so you can keep track, having a pop out comments box, having a top 5 and clearer wording of our challenges.
Some of the others are going to take slightly longer to work on - GDT spots, Sketches, Tutorials among those - we are not promising, but are talking to the team about them.  Keep watching this space!.....
I randomly chose one suggestion (it wasn't "picked", just a random choice) and the winner of the unclaimed prize is.....Gail!  Gail, drop us a quick email - could you make it clear that you are emailing about the unclaimed prize!

Thanks so much for all your suggestions!

This challenge will run until Tuesday, April 9th

For this challenge we are so excited to have The Paper Shelter 
as our sponsor. They are giving the winner a $20 gift certificate. Thanks so much!


Here is a little bit about them... PaperShelter produce high quality digital images. Here they explain how the process begins... It all starts in the traditional manner: With a pencil and a paper.
We always have a list of ideas for our drawings. Depending on our desires, depending of the season and taste of our customers, a new image is drawn.
Not all drawings always go to the second instance. Sometimes we left them archived until a better time. So, counting the drawings that were already traced and those that are pending, today, we have many folders full of images and projects :o) A truly "Paper Shelter"!
If you have the time - pop over to HERE to find out how the process continues - its fascinating!  Quite an education for anyone who has spent time using digi images but never realised all the hard work and love that goes into them!

OK, now onto the challenge. We want to see any card or project which has a sentiment for a girl.  


Here are the beautiful creations from Team A. Stop by next Thursday for more inspiration from Team B



Ooooo and while I remember...if you look at our challenge rules (such as they are!), it says that you need to claim your prize by the time we post the next challenge.  Unfortunately we have a prize that wasn't claimed first time round, then the second person we picked didn't claim it either!  I know - shocking!

SO, rather than picking another person, we thought we would offer it up.  BUT, you don't just get it for nothing!  We will pick from comments on this post - and we would like you to tell us one thing that you think would improve our challenges!  That could be suggesting a theme, changing the look of the blog, accepting guest DTs, putting up tutorials - you name it!  As I said, we will pick from one of those suggestions to receive the unclaimed prize.  Please note, although we LOVE getting your comments thanking us for picking you, or leaving us some love etc etc, (and please feel free to do that too!!!) - the prize will be picked from people leaving suggestions only!  


This challenge will run until Tuesday, March 26
