DDCC #139-All White- Di's Digis

Wow, that was an easy challenge last week!!  I just would like to take a moment to mention the rules of playing along with us here at Dutch Dare.  We after week, when random.org chooses a winner, I continuously have to pick again, pick again, because when I go to the winning entry...one or more of the rules have been broken...for example-not following the challenge ie-using punches and or die cuts but there aren't any on the card, combining 15 challenge together, our max is 8, etc, so please take a moment to read the rules of our challenge.  They are at the top of the blog...always, as well as at the bottom of each post just before the linky tool.  

Ok, so onto our winner from last week's challenge.  Fantastic entries everyone!  There are some really fun uses of dies on your projects!  
So without further ado, a big thank you to Pattie from Pattie's Creations for sponsoring us!  
Our winner is entry 
#105-Hilde
Congratulations Hilde, please contact me to claim your prize of Pattie's Creations!

Our challenge this week for you is All White!  I would like to see everything on your card, papers, all embellies, etc to be white, the only splashes of color can  be on your image. 
Our wonderful sponsor this week is none other than Di from Di's Digi Downloads!   
Have a look at the gorgeous work from our DT!  Speaking of our fabulous DT, don't forget our DT Call going on right now.




What gorgeous projects from our DT!  I can't wait to see what you make for this challenge.  So all of your elements must be white, the only color allowed on your card is the image:-)  Have fun!

I have changed the entry cut off time from 11:59 PM MST to 8:00 PM MST.  I always stay up late to get the winner chosen and I can't do that every week, so to make my life easier I am changing it so that I can get the post typed and winner chosen and hit the hay at a decent time.  I like having it all in one post versus posting the winner after the new challenge has started, I find the prizes are actually claimed this way.

Just a note about Linky Tools,  sometimes it takes a moment for your picture to show up.  Please wait a moment after competing the steps and then refresh your screen, it usually always appears right away.  I do try and go through and delete all multiple entries but sometimes time runs away on me and I'm not able to get the list cleaned up.

So there we have it for this week.  I would love for you to join in the fun with us this week.  Please follow our rules.  If any of the listed rules are broken, your creation will not be eligible for the weekly prize.
