CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OUR WINNERS

NOW FOR THIS OCTOBER'S CELEBRATION

This month we have 2 new sponsors and 1 returning sponsor for October's challenges!

 

I would like to introduce and welcome one of our new sponsors.  You all will recognize this sponsor so let's give a great big YAHOO to "Bugaboo Stamps".

 Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: A Short Essay

 

As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two years ago.  

Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing!  From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects.  Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week! 

 

 If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps  at Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT   for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug. 

Bugaboo is offering our winner 7 digi stamps! So get those entries going and remember if you use a Bugaboo stamp you get counted twice.  Just place a # after your name so we will know you used a sponsor's image.

 

One of our very special sponsors is back and offering 2 of her darling images to one lucky winner.  So let's welcome back Krista of "Saturated Canary."  That's right ladies you could win these darlin images just for joining the party, how easy can that be.  So start creating and having fun!  It is a party after all.

We also have another first time sponsor.  Let's welcome Robert Jackson the artist behind "Fine Arts By Robert Jackson" whom has graciously offered to sponsor Mema's Crafts in celebration of our one year anniversary. 

If you haven't seen his art visit his gallery of graphite drawings, paintings and more soon.  Robert not only creates fine arts he is also a talented digital creator and as one of his designers I am pleased to have him as one of my sponsors. 

Big thanks to Jackson's Digital Expressions for offering 5 of his digital images to one lucky winner!

WAIT DON'T STOP THERE IS ONE MORE THING LEFT FOR ME TO DO!!!!!
 

Since my first blog challenge launch I have had several faithful followers, and I would like to say thanks to all of you.  I wish I could award each of you but unfortunately that is not possible, however there is one individual that has commented on every post since becoming a follower and sometimes it seems that she comments before I can finish my post (figure that one out).

So I want to acknowledge and say thank you to Maxine D. for her commenting faithfully on my post. Email me to claim your prize of: 

• Electronic Gift Certificate to the following shops:
• Whimsy Stamps
• I Brake For Stamps

Additionally, I also wanted to see who logged into my site the mostest (is that a word?) I added the Top Member gadget in July and since that time Edie Warren has registered 112 times.  Thank you Edie for taking time to visit and log into my blog.  It gives me pleasure to present you with my "Frequent Visitor's Award" (I just made that up ha ha ha) which consists of the following:

At the end of the year I will reset my Top Follower/Member gadget and start anew, so remember when you visit, log in and get counted.
