New News!

Hi everyone and a great big welcome to our first challenge of 2012. I want to thank everyone who plays along with us for all your gorgeous entries over the last year and for all your continued support. We really appreciate each and every entry we get. I wish you all a fabulous 2012!! 

There is someone very special i would like to say a great big THANKS too.... its our friend Jenni!

Jenni has sadly decided to step down from the design team to concentrate on her very own personal venture.

As most of probably know, Jenni has her very own range of digital stamps and would like more time to spend on her talent! Please pop by her store and have a look around, there is images to suit every occasion and her work is stunning. Here is the link to her store, Cardmadfairy's Creations

and her challenge blog, Cardmadfairy's Digi Days. 

Thank You Jenni for sharing all your creations with us and also for all the times you sponsored our blog.

We all wish you the very best of luck for the future!
