Our sponsor for this challenge is Digi Chick. What a fun company! You should pop over there and take a look. They let the entire DT choose products to use and we all had do much fun with them. Their kits have everything!

Here is a little bit about the company and their products...




"We're a digital scrapbooking community that exists to encourage, inspire and celebrate life's little moments with you. What is digital scrapbooking? Well, it's a bit like traditional paper scrapbooking, except that your layouts are created on your computer with dots and pixels instead of glue and scissors. It's an extremely versatile medium and we're sure you'll find that it's also quite addicting once you start to play around with it!
We work with .jpg papers and .png elements that will easily open in any photo-editing software, like Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements or Paint Shop Pro. You can change the colors of your supplies to suit your needs and fix mistakes with the magical undo button. And once you've created a page, you can easily share your layouts with friends and family on-line, as well as send off your work to be printed and bound into a family album. Or you can print off your digital supplies to use with your paper stash. There's a lot you can do with digital scrapbooking! So, come on in and check out what we're all about."




The sentiment for this challenge is NO SENTIMENT.





This is a great chance to make some all occasion cards, gift packaging and gifts.




We have another fabulous video from Catherine Pooler.




For more information on the products used in this video please visit Catherine's website. Catherine also has an upcoming series of 4 videos and the first 1 can be seen here. Be sure to check it out!

We are so lucky to have Sassy Cheryls as our sponsor this week! She have the most adorable images. If you haven't been to her store you should pop over and take a look.



Here is a little bit about them...



"Hi everyone! Sassy Cheryl here and I’m so happy to be sponsoring the Aud Sentiments challenge this week. I have been creating graphics and have licensed my work to companies such as Kohl's, Hobby Lobby and Shopko, among others, for over six years. I started creating digital images about ten ago. I absolutely LOVE to draw and always carry a small sketchbook for those times when a bit of inspiration hits. It's been a lifelong dream to become a working artist, and besides deadlines, I LOVE everything about what I do! It really helps that I have a very supportive husband and son (they also can be my biggest critics!) Through the digis I create, I’ve met so many wonderful, talented ladies. The projects they make using my images makes it all worth it. ‘Can’t wait to see what you will create with my Sassy images. "






The theme for this challenge is ANYTHING GOES!






This is perfect for all you trying out for the team to really show us what you love to make!



We have another fabulous video from Catherine Pooler.
