FRIENDSHIP

Our sponsor this challenge is the marvellous

The design team were all able to chose and image from Kenny K's wonderful selection.










The winners prize will be added when Ang our Team Leader is able to add it to this post but it will be worth the wait.

Christy has some fabulous images in her store!

Tiddly Inks offers digital stamps and digital papers, created by Christy Croll. Christy is a self-trained illustrator who likes simple, cute and quirky drawings with a sense of humor. She draws what amuses her, which means some days it is quirky and cute and other days it is a bit of a twisted gothic feel.
Christy has allowed the DT to use one of her fabulous images in their creations:

Female Birthday

A huge thank you to all who entered our last challenge! Some fantastic entries and our DT will announce shortly the winner of that challenge so stay tuned. 
Moving on to our next challenge we are sponsored by the fabulous

Stretch & Bubbles
Here is a bio of Alison and Stretch & Bubbles:
I really started “Scrapbooking/Card making” in 1996 when my dear friend Lisa Bearnson introduced to her new magazine Creating Keepsakes.. after that I was HOOKED!.. I do both scrapbooking and card making.. I have been published in many magazines, worked for Creating Keepsakes as a designer for products sold on QVC, and won many contests. I am the owner of Do You Stack Up?! Challenge blog, Free Digital Stamps blog, & Stretch N' Bubbles Digital Stamps blog/store. I quickly fell in love with the idea of digital stamps. Not having to find a spot to keep them,being able to get your product instantly, and buying one size fit's all.. I was on board! I have never taken an art class.. I just started doodling and putting them online. My free digital stamps within 2-3 days were getting 500 downloads, so I thought if there were that many people who liked my designs. I should start a little store.. and Stretch N' Bubbles was born.. Now you might ask yourself, how did you get the name Stretch N' Bubbles? Well my dad "poppie" gives all the grandchildren "magic names" and my son's magic name is Stretch, and yep you guessed it..my daughters magic name is "Bubbles".. so I put them together and came up with that name..
Thanks so much to all of you for helping support my dream..
HUGS *Alison*
