 Thanks!

 Come back next week for another FREEBIE!

I want to mention again how much we appreciate Lacy Sunshine Stamps for sponsoring this challenge!  Heather has provided images for our DT to showcase for your inspiration and she is providing the prize for this challenge's winner!   If you see an image you like, or if you want to shop around in her catalog of images, you can click on the link to go directly to her shop!  You won't be disappointed!

Quick Summary of our Rules

1) As you might guess from our name - we require a SENTIMENT!  
Your sentiment needs to be appropriate for the theme/challenge.  If you make a card and put the sentiment on the inside instead of the front, you need to include a picture [in your blog post] that shows us the sentiment.

2) You may submit up to 5 projects and enter as many other challenges as you like.

3) This is a 2 week challenge that begins every other Thursday.  The due date for entries always will fall on the Tuesday before the new challenge begins.
