Congratulations Lisa, you win 2 digis of your choice from Jellypark! Please email CG to receive your prize (cgSaysSomethingLoudly AT gmail DOT net).

Congratulations to you all, and we hope you'll join us this week for PIO #22 - Two or more Folds, sponsored by Digi Doodle Shop.

Pile It On #22 - Two or More Folds

Hello, challenge fans! This week we want to see your cards using Two or more Folds.

One lucky participant will win a $10 Gift Certificate from our sponsor, Digi Doodle Shop.

Digi Doodle Shop is the results of a mother and daughter’s love for the arts and crafts. It was started a little over 3 years ago with a little more than 100 stamps, and has since then grown to almost 500 stamps. Joy (the mother of this team) designs realistic images, while Judy (aka/daughter) loves the “fun side of life”, and create images with a cartoon flair. Having these two complimenting styles have enabled Digi Doodle Shop to offer a wide variety of stamps.

It is a real honor and pleasure to sponsor this challenge, and we look forward to seeing all the amazing creations. We thank the design team for their incredible creations, and wish all the participants the very best of luck in this challenge.

Thanks Joy & Judy, our team had a great time with the images you generously provided (first 5 projects feature their images)!

Pile It On #20 - Clean and Simple

Happy Mothers Day to all the US Mommies, Grandmas, Aunties and other special ladies!
It's time for another challenge and the theme is "Clean and Simple"
Now before you all going running for the hills screaming remember that this "should", cough cough splutter splutter, make the card quicker and easier to make!
We are sponsored by the fabulous Simon Says Stamp who are offering a $15 Gift Certificate to our wonderful winner




The Clean and Simple style is minimal if any matting, embellishing, fancy stuff, it is really the image that should be your focus.
And if this still has you running scared remember that is supposed to be a CHALLENGE after all :)

Our team did a great job and hopefully it will inspire you to join in with us
