Onto a new challenge this week.... we would like you to 'STAMP IT'...... that means use stamping somewhere on your creation... you can also emboss if you feel like it.
This challenge is again sponsored by ChiChi Memories and they offer some super digis as a prize.
They also gave the DT some lovely images to work with... see below.
Audrey our DT member who is also co-ordinator for ChiChi has now left the DT... we were very sorry to see her go... but understand she has lots of other 'stuff' to do.
We wish you well Aud and thank you for all your hard work with the DT.
ChiChi will also leave the sponsorship after the September challenge.... don't worry we have a replacement... more info later on that.

So come along and join in the challenge and have some fun.
