Sweet 7 Digital Designs is my little way of sharing my artwork with the world. I love card making and love using digi stamps. Turning my doodles into stamps was just for fun at first, but then I had the idea to open my shop. Most of my images are based on my kids and the things they do and like. The name Sweet 7 comes from my family too - there are 7 of us and life is sweet. My store is kind of small right now, but I have lots of new images to add to the collection each month.

Winner and DT Favorites: Challenge No. 11

Welcome, bloggers! We had a fantastic turnout last week! 146 entries! WOW! I'm somewhat speechless!
Before we get to the winners, I want to offer my most sincerest apologies. I had some personal business come up this week that kept me from Blogland. I was not able to comment on each and every one of our entries and for that, I am so sorry! Please do not think that I did not view your card because I did look at each and every one and admired them. It's a long and complicated story; however, I did comment on as many as I could remember to comment on. There were still a few asking me to prove I was not a robot and I did not stop to comment on those but for the rest... it was just a difficult task for me this week. If any of you are my friends on FB and read my posts, you surely understand my lack of follow through on the commenting and again... I am so very sorry! Please know I appreciate each of you who plays along with us each week and I did view and ooh and aah over all the cards!
We use Random.org to pick our winners. Our sponsors last week were Crafty Sentiments Designs with an offering of THREE digis and My Whimsical Little World offering TWO digis.
For the Crafty Sentiments Designs prize, Random.org chose:
Please put IDCB Winner No. 11 CSD in the subject line. 
AND, for the My Whimsical Little World prize:
Please put IDCB Winner No. 11 MWLW in the subject line.
Congratulations! Please send an email to stampnscrapjunkie@gmail.com within 7 days. We will provide you with info on how to collect your prize. Help me out a little, please. I send out images for another challenge blog plus sponsored challenges and I get so confused when someone emails me with the subject line 'Winner'!

Anything Goes Challenge No. 12

Welcome everyone! We're so happy you've popped in here to join our challenge this week!
This week's sponsors are, in alphabetical order, Alicia Bel and Beccy Muir! Wow! I'm thrilled beyond words!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi, I'm Alicia Bel.
Since childhood, I drew all the time. I also like to make cards. I studied teaching and then Fine Arts. I learned anatomy, composition and many things to make most interesting my drawings. My drawings are very sweet, innocent and sometimes sexy. I'm a bit childish and I really like princess stories, and beautiful, simple, and happy things.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's some fantastic inspiration from the DT using Alicia Bel images!

Beccy’s Place Digital Designs by Beccy Muir
My paper obsession began with scrapbooking in the late 1990s and has since evolved into card-making and digital drawing. There were a few years of decorative painting, teddy bear making and silk ribbon embroidery mixed in there too. I still dabble in each of those crafts (and many others) from time to time but I generally gravitate toward paper, which I find versatile and forgiving.
I started “doodling” little designs for cards back in 2009, which is when I started my blog and began sharing my images with other Cardies. From there I progressed to my very own online store selling digital drawings for cards and other paper craft projects. Some of my images have now been made into rubber stamps by the wonderful team over at Sparkle N Sprinkle. These days you can usually find me “hanging out” over on my blog, www.beccysplace.blogspot.com.
