Challenge #140

Thanks to all who joined us last week for our "Around the house" challenge. We had some fabulous entries.

This week is our first SPOTLIGHT CARD. The lovely ANDIE, our host, had to choose, which she said was very difficult from all the brilliant entries. She decided on SCALLYWAGS, because of the uber cute image, fab colours and the image made her laugh! Well done Sally - below is her fabulous card.

This is your last chance this month to be included in the monthly draw to win 5 digis of your choice from our fabby sponsor.

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 this week.
