Blog Facelift

I decided to change the look of the blog to something a little bit softer. I think that this helps the projects stand out more. I have made new badges also so please feel free to grab the new ones. I hope you all like it and don't forget this challenge using "NO SENTIMENTS" is open until Tuesday. We have 89 entries so far! WOW! Lets try to get 100!

Thanks so much for stopping by and we are looking forward to seeing your wonderful creations!

Word Verification

Hello everyone! Firstly I want to thank all of you for joining us here at Aud Sentiments. The DT and I would love it if you could please turn off Word Verification. We all love leaving comments on your blogs but that verification thing takes a while so sometimes we don't get to comment on every ones projects.
Thank you so much and don't forget that you have until Tuesday to enter this challenge. The sentiment is "Hello Friend" and the sponsor is Soft Pencil!

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
#14 Elizabeth
#23 Katie
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!
