Challenge 92 - Digi Day

Hello and welcome back.  I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with those you love.  For those of you that live international. thank you for allowing us to celebrate our day.  We sure did miss you and are happy to be back.
This week we have a special challenge for you.  Our challenge is a DIGI CHALLENGE.  What you need to do to enter our challenge is use an image from Digital Delight.

Digital Delights has some adorable and classy holiday images that were released this month that I'm sure you'll love.  Hop on over, snatch up a digi and play along with us this week.

One of the things I love most about Digital Delights is they offer images that are already colored in.  Talk about an ultimate time saver that allows you to create cards and projects with some beautiful images. 

Here is our design team's creations.  Keep in mind all the images they used are Digital Delight images.  You can find them on their site to purchase.

Welcome back sponsor

This is our last week with Inky.  It sure has been a fun challenge month and we were honored to have had them as a sponsor.  If you have not already, make sure you pop over to shop the Inky Impressions store, you won't be disappointed.

This weeks challenge is a clean and simple sketch challenge.  Please excuse my "amature" sketch.  My program crashed on me so I'm back to the old school way of creating.  So bear with me!!  This sketch can be flipped as long as it models the general layout.

Have fun!!!

And what would a blog post be without featuring our AMAZING DT!!!!
