I am sad to say that we are losing our Wonderful Wendy. As heartbroken as we all are we understand and wish her nothing but the best. With that being said, we are looking for 2 new design team members. If you are interested please put DT next to your entry to this challenge. The call will be open until Tuesday, August 31 and we will announce our choices on Thursday, September 2 with the new challenge. The term will run until the end of December. You will be required to make a project for each fortnightly challenge, to comment on the entries, and help in selecting the winners.

Don't forget there is still time to enter our new monthly drawing. The link is here. You are still eligible to win even if you are applying to be on the DT because your term will not start until after this drawing is over.

OK, now onto the challenge...


We are so so lucky to be sponsored by 2 Cute Rubber Stamps . They are giving the winner a free rubber stamp or 2 digi stamps! Thanks so much! If you haven't had a chance to work with their images go and check them out because as you will see from our DT they aer so much fun! here is a little something about them...

"2 Cute Rubber Stamps are cute and whimsical stamps that are offered as both digital and cling cushion. I decided to create a rubber stamp business to have an outlet for all my illustrations where others can enjoy! The BEST thing about 2 cute rubber stamps is that YOU can get involved in the creative process by voting on my sketches and being able to post ideas of what you would like to see as a stamp."

This time around the sentiment is... ANYTHING GOES! This will work out so perfectly to for the DT call because you can showcase all your favorite things to do! Enter as many times as you would like but PLEASE NO BACK LINKING and if you are applying for a spot on the team make sure that each entry has DT next to it.
