Back to the B challenge


We are really really lucky this week because the AWESOME Dustin Pike

is sponsoring our challenge!
And I!!!!/We are mega excited about that,
Why? well here's the thing,
I had another crazy idea about having a freebie that you guys could download and use for our challenge, so I had a chat to Dustin and here is what he has come up with!....

Isn't it awesome!
Ok so to join in our challenge this time right click on above image and save it to your hard drive as a Jpeg...

Samantha's soap box
I always try to comment on every single card/project that you enter into the challenges
There are a couple of things that I needed to ask you please....If you would be so kind as to consider turning off word verification, maybe you might not even realise you have it on, It makes commenting so much nicer, and when we are commenting on over a 100 cards it makes a huge difference in the time it takes us, you can moderate your comments which in fact is a better way to keep you safe.... Thanks :0)
  1. Please please remember if you want to qualify for any prizes you must add a direct link to your card/project ( Not just to your blog, ) on our Mr linky I/we spent a lot of time trying to find a few cards/projects. Please add a link to here on your blog post saying your entering our challenge. If you're not sure how to do any of these things then just email us we can help you sort it out :0)
ok off of my soap box tehheee read on...

From this challenge your link pictures will be bigger too, nice to see your work a bit better on here.

Sorry Carissa back over to you!
I think I have stopped flapping with excitement that Dustin is Sponsoring us! YAY!!!
