Cannot wait to see what your creative imagination creates for our challenge.

The first prize is from our very own Linda who is the proud owner of JAZZLINS DESIGNS. Where there are plenty of Sweet Pea stamps and other delights to buy. Hop over to her blog for full details. She is offering the winner:

a Sweet Pea Stamp,
a pack of cosmic shimmers
and a bag of embellishments.

Wow an absolutely fantastic prize I think you will agree and this winner will also be given the chance to be our Guest Designer next week.

The second prize is a choice of 3 Ching Chou Kuik digital image sheets from The Crafty Purple frog which is run by our very own Amy

The third prize is donated by the fabulous Sweet Pea Stamps. This weeks image is the magical ching-chou kuik's Fairy of the Night
