Good evening everyone, we hope you’re having a good week so far.  Apologies for the delay with the post tonight but I’ve had a power cut in my street and obviously no electricity, it has literally just come back on so I thought I’d better do this right away, just in case lol!  We would like to say a big thank you for all your gorgeous creations last week.  Michele’s sketch was very popular and there were so many wonderful interpretations of the sketch. 

Firstly we are going to announce the lucky winner of the 3 digi images courtesy of Some Odd Girl stamps and using random.org that is No.27:
