Challenge #119

Thanks to all who joined us last week for our "It's a couple thing" challenge. Wonderful entries as always.

Some sad news this week. Our lovely DT Melissa is taking a short break from the team due to family commitments. We hope she is back with us very soon.

Before we give you details of this week's challenge we are pleased to announce that we now have a regular monthly sponsor in The Stamping Boutique.

They have very kindly offered 5 digis of choice for the winner. Some details about them are below.

I'm Tracey Malnofski, the artist and owner of The Stamping Boutique. My team and I are very happy to sponsor Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge. My store has been open since September 2009.I am currently a stamp artist for Unity Stamp Co. and I've worked for InStyleStamps, Squigglefly, and TheDigiShack in the past. I'm a professional artist and an active member of the Artist' Guild in my community. I have quite a busy household with a husband, 3 teenagers, 5 mini-dachshunds and an Appaloosa mare. It's noisy, but I love them all. I'm truly blessed. "The Stamping Boutique" is dedicated to quality products and original artwork. We not only provide wonderful digital images in our store, but also several lines of red rubber images. Our designers are chosen for their character and personality,as well as, their beautiful designs. We work hard to give you our very best. Thank you so much for having us as your sponsor.

So onto this week's challenge. We have a theme of:-

HOT CHOCOLATE

We want to see hot chocolate images or colours. The DT were lucky enough to be given digis from The Stamping Boutique to celebrate their sponsorship of our challenge blog.
