Amy's favorite is #41- Penny and here's why in her own words: Love her beautifully colored image and color palette. Everything just works on this card. Love the sentiment and CAS design. Just LOVE everything about it! (A side note from me, Penny is also an enabler! After viewing her card, I had to go buy that image! I felt I couldn't live without it!)

Dianne's favorite is #22 - Niki1 and here's why in her own words: Just love the colour's fabulous image a beautiful Christmas card xx 

Ema's (that's me!) favorite is #15 - Aurora and here's why in my own words: I had such a time choosing a favorite. I had about ten and I flip flopped back and forth for hours! I finally settled on this spectacular piece because Aurora not only colored the image beautifully, she also... get this... crocheted the snowflakes! Talk about detail! I love the wintry feel of the card and what great colors! 

Hazel's favorite is #35 - Jackie C. and here's why in her own words: a beautiful CAS card with fantastic image taking centre stage. The simple sentiment a perfect finishing touch.

Ivy's favorite is #72 - Stempelhexchen and here's why in her own words: A lot of work went into this beautiful project, loved all the embellishments and details. Beautiful job!

Lynn's favorite is #107 - Charlene B and here's why in her own words: I love the shape, the images she used and CAS feel (and the glittery snow globe).

So we've got Sweet 7 Digital Designs sponsoring this week with a wonderful prize of THREE digis or a sentiment set! Isn't that great!?!

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.

Here's my 'Dream Team's' projects using super fun Sweet 7 Digital Designs!

Be sure to pop back over here tomorrow morning to find out the winner and DT favorites for last week's challenge! I'm all excited about that as well!
I'll try to be back at 12 AM sharp, CST, USA but don't hold me to that! Tomorrow is Thanksgiving for my part of the world. I'm stuck at work today until 5:00 PM and then I've got to rush home and get to trimming the turkey, chopping onions, scrubbing pots and pans, decorating the house, cleaning, baking, sauteing... HA! If you can believe that line of baloney! We're having ready made dressing, yams and rice casserole. The only thing I'm cooking is the turkey... and it's not really me... I'm just putting it in the oven! I'm quoting my now 26 year old daughter. I'll never forget how excited she was at the age of ten when she came to the conclusion and informed me I really was not the one cooking dinner. I just put it together and the oven cooked it! Ha! Children... can't give them away once they knock you off your pedestal... I checked! ;)
I will be back nonetheless to let you guys know who the winner is for the $10 Gift Voucher from DigiStamps4Joy! Woohoo!

Anything Goes Challenge No. 7

Welcome back, fellow bloggers! We're thrilled to have you play along with this week's anything goes challenge at Inspiration Destination! This week, we have TWO fabulous sponsors! We have Sherri Baldy offering one winner FIVE digis of their choice and Digital Delights by Louby Loo offering a $5 gift voucher! Woohoo!

*******************************************************

SHERRI BALDY
Sherri A. Baldy is freelance artist who has always specialized in big eye art and dolls. She has been published, licensed and an award winning artist and designer for 20 plus years. Sherri's artistic career started when she was just a little girl and sold her first works of art to her fourth grade teacher. She quickly learned that she could do what she loved for a living. Sherri's art and design career has spanned from creating dolls and home decor products to designing a women's and girl's clothing line in the 90s. 

One of Sherri's quotes about her life is: " I'm An Ordinary Girl Living An Extraordinary Life!" That is how she feels about being an artist and living the farm girl life she lives... or as Sherri puts it "I color for a living!" when she is asked "What do you do for a living?" She and her family live on a farm in sunny Southern California in the USA. She is a true farm girl at heart and is living her dream on the farm. Urban Farm Diva is where Sherri and her husband live and rescue many animals that are in need of tender loving care and they find them their forever homes. At the farm (Urban Farm Diva Farms.com) you will find The family's three horses, nine dogs and so many barn cats and over 60 chickens... some that lay blue eggs... and 30 fish in the pond!
