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.

This week we have a wonderful sponsor, Laurie, from Doodle Pantry.  Here are a few words to re-introduce you to Laurie

"Hello, my name is Laurie.   I'm just a regular Joe crafter. While trying to find digital images that met my own crafting needs, I decided to draw some of my own, as I had so many unique (weird!) ideas that I just couldn't locate elsewhere. I sincerely hope something I've done inspires you to go create something to bring a smile to someone else and hope you enjoy creating to your hearts content with some of my doodles."

~Laurie
