This weeks sponsor is Patties Creations and here is a little something about the owner and illustrator Pattie Gomez. 

I am an Internet Technology Professional and an Artist. I always dreamed of being an artist, but I found out quickly that I needed another field to support my family so I pursued a Degree in Information Technology. I love to use Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Fireworks to enhance my work.
I created a character called Pattieboop and her cat named Allie. I have had so much fun coming up with different images so I also created a site to sell them. You can go to my store to find out more about Pattieboop & Allie. I know you will just love them when you see them.
I have added many other images to my store in the past few years. I know have a large selection of images to fit everyone’s needs

My store: http://www.etsy.com/shop/pattiescreations

The winner this week will get two free images from Patties Creations.  Your creation doesn't have to be valentines themed, but it would be great to see some lovely loved up cards.

This weeks sponsor is Bugaboo and here is a little something about the owner and illlustrator Jodie Mackrell. 

 Everything that you ever wanted to know about Bugaboo Stamps:  As if raising 5 children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the work of papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. Bugaboo Stamps has become one of the leading companies in digital images. From seiously snarky to sugar sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects.  Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week!!  If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps at Totally Stampilicious.  And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT for the weekly Challenges at Catch the Bug.

This weeks winner will get to pick 7 free digis of their choice  



Here is what our wonderful design team has created with some darling images of Jodie's from Bugaboo
