We have a fun one for you this week and one that we have never done before. I have seen them out in blogland, so I thought we would give it a go as well. It's a BINGO card. You need to choose a straight line, it can be vertical, horizontal or diagonal and make sure to include those 3 items on your creations. Or you can use the whole card, make an X, all four corners, or a +
So here's the BINGO card:

Paper Piecing
Charm
Chipboard
Ribbon
Flowers
Die Cuts
Punches
Distressing
Bling

Our lovely sponsor this week is The Stamping Boutique! Thank you to Tracey and her team!


Some of our DT gals have used images from The Stamping Boutique for their creations. Be sure to pop on over to the store and check out Tracey's super fun Halloween digis, they're wonderful!

"I am an Internet Technology Professional and an Artist.

I love to use Adobe Photoshop and Fireworks to enhance my work. I just recently started selling my very own digital images and I am so excited to be here sponsoring the Dutch Dare Challenge.
I created a character called Pattieboop and her cat named Allie. I have had so much fun coming up with different images so I also created a site to sell them. You can go to my store to find out more about Pattieboop & Allie. I know you will just love them when you see them.
Pattie's work is wonderful, I encourage you to stop by her shop and have a look at everything she has to offer, you won't be disappointed!
