CHALLENGE #1 AT THE EAST WIND



The new design Team at the wonderful new TheEastWind Challenge Blog are sooooooooooooo very excited about today! YAY! It's our very first Challenge and the theme is so easy LOVE, don't we all need more of that? And I decided that so many cards would be about valentine's (and why not!) that I would showcase an altogether different kind of love, the love of animals. This image makes me think of my youngest. A, she wears hats just like this one, and B, she is animal crazy. A cat lady in the making! Has anyone spotted the tiny mouse? Take a closer look!

MONTHLY CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE at Digistamps for Joy



It's time for a new Christmas Challenge over at the Digistamps For Joy MONTHLY CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE {FEB 2014} and you can enter HERE.
The rules are simple:

DigiStamps4Joy has decided, seeing that its a New Year, its time for something new here at DS4J.

We all know the Christmas rush at the end of each year to get those Christmas cards/tags made for family and friends, so this is now your chance to create those cards/tags on a monthly basis, and what makes it even more exciting is that we here at DS4J will take the thinking out of it when it gets to choosing images. We will offer a free DS4J Christmas image each month with which you can create a card or tag.

You need to enter your card or tag with this free image into Mr Linky on the blog HERE. Each person who has created a card or tag with the month's free image, will receive the next month's image free.

Please email Desire at desiref@iafrica.com if you are keen to enter our second Christmas challenge with this wonderful image, and she will get it off to you asap.
