DUE TO INCREASED SHIPPING COSTS,
WE WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO SHIP PRIZES INTERNATIONALLY
but, international designers are certainly welcome to
play for the Top winner and Top 3 honors ... we love seeing your designs!

Now it's YOUR turn, so get those stencils out and have some fun with us.
We won't always have a prize but periodically we will, you just never know!

We always do have a Top 3 and a Top winner and it could be YOU!

OUR NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION!

With the many challenge blogs we (Diane & Darlene) run (8 to be exact), over the last several years we have made it a point to comment on every challenge entry. But starting this year we will just be sharing one BIG THANK YOU to all of you who continue to support our challenges by playing along.  It has just become too time consuming.
 But please know, we TRULY APPRECIATE EACH & EVERY ONE OF YOU.

You can read all the rules in the rules tab above and would appreciate you doing so!
Thanks for joining us crazy ladies and have fun!!!

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!
