Remember, you must use a Wags 'n Whiskers stamp to be entered into the drawing. If you are in need of some Wags 'n Whiskers stamps...click here!

The team is taking some time off for the Holidays, so this challenge will stay open until Midnight EST on January 7th!! That means you have a lot of time to participate...grab those Wags 'n Whiskers stamps and come play along!!

Now let's see what the lovely Design Divas came up with this week...

Jeanette

Sharon

Chris

Michele Roos

Hi! My name is Michele Roos and I live in Co Kerry, Southern Ireland. I'm a happily married SAHM to 3 children all under the age of 8. As you can imagine it's a busy household, so at the end of the day when I've tucked the kids into bed, I like to de-stress by making cards/projects. I've always enjoyed crafting but got completely hooked on cardmaking last year when I started blogging. Apart from cardmaking, I also love to make my own flowers and I always love to experiment to see how versatile a die can be. I feel so honoured and excited to be part of this talented DT.

Yay.. it's Friday so time for another fun challenge! Thank you to everyone who joined in last week and it was so wonderful to see your creations. We will be back very soon to post last week's winner :-)

Before I tell you about this weeks challenge we would like to give a warm welcome to the very talented Sharon Caudle - Grandma's House of Cards. We are so happy as Sharon is joining our team as a permanent diva. Here is a little about Sharon...

Hi, my name is Sharon Caudle, and I am addicted to card making. *smile* I am married to my soul mate, Randy, and we share five wonderful children and four glorious grandsons. During the day, I’m the office manager for a regional trucking company that is based in the northwest. And at night, you will usually find me sitting at my craft area, many times with a grandson on my lap. :0) I can’t even remember exactly when I started scrapbooking anymore, but I fell in love with card making about four years ago. It enables me to share a little piece of myself with friends and family, near or far. I also love to create things for my grandsons. I hope you enjoy my work, and that I’m able to inspire you in some little way. Hugs!

This week I (Nikki) am hosting our challenge and would like to see buttons on your cards. You can use them in the centers of flowers, the corners of your cards or get really creative with them!

The only rule... you must use a Wags 'n Whiskers Rubber Stamp as your main image to be entered into the prize drawing.

If you don't have any Wags 'n Whiskers, then it's time to get them in your hands!! Go shopping here.

Once again, one lovely participant will win a Wags 'n Whiskers Rubber Stamp of your choice. If you already own the whole first release, you will get to choose from the next release (which will be available December 11th).
