Now this week is the last challenge of the month and that means it’s a “Challenge with a Twist”. So you get to pick which sketch to use – any sketch from 2014 – and the TWIST is to use a MERMAID or FAIRY theme this week to qualify for the prize drawing. You can find all the previous sketches from 2014 in the tab at the top.

And also this week we have a new sponsor – and we’re sure excited about it too.  We’re proud that Megan Suarez, the artist owner of Dilly Beans Stamps, is providing the challenge winner three free images of their choice from the Dilly Beans online shop.

Dilly Beans offers some wonderfully whimsical digi stamps in a lot of different themes. To see more of Megan Suarez’s beautiful illustrations, visit her InspirationsBlog, Dilly Beans Challenge Blog and the Dilly Beans Facebook Page.

Thanks for your generous sponsorship Megan!  We loved creating with your beautiful mermaid and fairy digi stamps this week!

And here’s what the design team created for your inspiration using Dilly Beans images:

NANCY

HEIDE

JOANNA

HOLLY

KATHIE

    I added my link, but neither it or the thumbnail is not showing up. When I tried to re-enter, it says my link already exists in linkup.

      Hi Carla - I have had the same trouble with linking up recently. It often seems to take up to an hour for the link to show up but it does eventually show (after refreshing the page several times!!!!)

    I have a second entry for the twist challenge, using a different sketch this time. I couldn't see in the rules whether you can have more than one entry, so if it's not allowed, please delete my second card. Thanks again for the inspiration!
