Anything Goes Challenge No. 31

Howdy, bloggers! Welcome back! This week it is all about cuteness! We have Little Blue Button Stamps offering a $10 GC for ONE lucky winner and All Dressed Up with TWO images for a second lucky winner! Wow! Cute and fun all the way around!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I also wanted to take the time to thank all of you wishing me well when I told you all about my little mishap. I've been to the MD and it seems I may have arthritis and LOTS of fun ahead! lol So I am hoping for the best and waiting to see a specialist. The doctor massaged my injured hand and it doesn't pain me as much but now and then, it stabs me to remind me it's still there. lol I know with prayer and patience, I'll be right back where I want to be!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So enough of that, and let's get this week's party started!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello! My name is Olga. I'm the owner and designer of Little Blue Button Stamps. All the designs you can see in our releases were illustrated by me! 

Little Blue Button Stamps started its life in December 2012 as free digital stamps company "Digital designs by Olga". Later in spring 2013 it was reborn as Little Blue Button Stamps and first Design Team started its work. In the summer of 2013 we started to produce rubber stamps which were pressed and packed by C.C.Designs company. In Fall 2014 we started to release clear stamps but due to some problems in my life I had to shut down both clear and rubber and continue with digital stamps only.

We have our Little Blue Button Stamps online store where you can buy digital stamps for a very great price.

Here are some delightfully cute projects created by the DT using images from LBBS to inspire you to join in on the fun!

Hi I am Wendy Burns I live in Nottingham UK with my husband and two children who have been the inspiration behind the characters, in particular my daughter who has kept me up-to-date with blogging and trends. I work predominantly within the textile children’s wear market, fashion and interiors.

I trained as a textile designer and although my work is digital based, I love to retain that hand drawn /sewn feel which I hope comes across in my artwork.

Digital stamps is a new challenge for me and the opportunity to work with the All Dressed Up Team and has been very exciting, in particular the creative way my characters have been given individual personalities by the designers.

All Dressed Up is a newly launched blog with an enthusiastic team who are passionate about stamping. The coordinators Anne Lise and Bettina along with an amazing design team are also known as The Dressy Girls.

We have a friendly Facebook page, regular blog posts, tutorials, challenges and freebies. The stamps can be purchased from the Etsy shop which is updated on a monthly basis.

We really are friendly bunch and would love to see your creations so please feel free to contact us and visit the All Dressed Up Challenge Blog.
