DDCC #97-Jan 27-Recipe

***ETA: Congratulations to entry #21-Christine (blankiefinder), you're our winner from last week's sketch challenge! Please contact me and I will have your CTMH prize shipped***
Here we are onto our next challenge already, funny how a week seems to go by so fast now that we are weekly! I have decided to schedule the challenge posts so they will go live at 12:01am MST since that is when the inlinkz time begins anyway. I will choose the winner Thursday morning when I get home from my school bus run (as I will be sleeping at midnight when the time is over:-) and add it to the challenge post. Please "follow" our blog so you don't miss out on the chance that your name is called and you don't claim your prize!

So onto this week. First off, our sponsor is Simon Says Stamp and they have kindly donated a $10 gift cert for the winner of this week's challenge.



Our challenge this week is a Recipe for you. Your card must include the following items:
-3 pattern papers
-3 flowers
-3 sparkly things-rhinestones, pearls, gem, etc
and 1 ribbon

Here we have some gorgeous artwork by our lovely DT.
