Challenge #4 and Winner Of #3

Well here we are at Challenge #4. I can't believe it. We had such a great turnout on the last challenge. Thank you so much! It was so difficult for us to pick winners but here goes...

First Place goes to... #9 Kim

Top 3 are...
#19 Emma

Congrats and don't forget your badges too!

The sentiment for Challenge #4 is "Hello Friend". Remember the only rule is you must use that exact phrase on your card. You can add to it if you want as long as the words "Hello Friend" are also there.

We are so lucky for this challenge to have Soft Pencil for our sponsor. They have the most adorable images and they are so versatile as you'll see from the beautiful work of the DT. The winner will receive a $10 voucher to spend in their store.

Here is a little something from Elizabeth...
""Hello everyone! my name is Elizabeth Pujalka and I´m the illustrator and designer behind Softpencil - Digital Stamps, home of Michu and his lovely friends, where you can find cute illustrations for your crafting needs. I invite you to know my whimsical world plenty of gorgeous characters and to enjoy creating with them! Happy digi-stamping!!!"

Here are a couple more Word Art Digis for you. Nothing fancy as I am still learning.

And now the wonderful creations from the DT!

We are lucky enough to have Bugaboo Stamps for our sponsor and they are giving the winner 7 digis! If you haven't seen their digitals yet you need to check them out! They have something for everyone and some of their stuff is hysterical! I love love love this company! Here is a little bit about them...

"My name is Jodie Mackrell, I am a WAHM of 5!
I live in Pilger, Saskatchewan, Canada.
I am the owner of Bugaboo Stamps, which made its entrance to the digi stamp world January 2010.
Bugaboo stamps has a wide variety of digi stamps from cutesy to sassy characters,
with new stamps and freebies being added every week.
Bugaboo prides itself on quality digi stamps, and the goal is simple - passing around some smiles and laughter!"




I made a couple more sentiments for you in case you want to play along and want to use them. They are nothing fancy as I am still learning but I am hoping that they will get better.

OK now onto Challenge #2!

This time we are lucky enough to have Pollycraft sponsoring our challenge. They are giving the winner a £10 voucher. How great is that! If you haven't seen their digis you need to pop over to their site. They have the most adorable images. Our DT was lucky enough to get some to showcase for this challenge.

'Pollycraft are a UK store selling Digital Stamps, Clear stamps and Letraset Promarkers (stock due next week)
All stamp images are hand doodled by myself (Paula) You'll find mostly cute, quirky and whimsical characters, lots of cute bears, lots of Fairies... and even aliens!!
Pop over and have a look... you can even 'try before you buy' with Free Digital Stamps available every Friday on the Pollycraft Blog!!'

This time around the sentiment is...
"Thanks A Bunch"



I have made up a couple simple digis using that sentiment in case you don't have any and want to enter the challenge. I hope you like them. I am new to word art and it is harder than it looks. (at least I think so)
Just right click on them and save them.

Here are the lovely examples from the DT...
