Second Challenge

Good Morning and welcome to the second challenge.  I was pleasantly surprised at the number of entries that we had for our first challenge.  I enjoyed seeing all of the wonderful creations that were submitted.  The winner of the first challenge and the top 3 will be posted on Monday.

I wanted to apologize to everyone that had trouble with the Inlinkz tool during the first challenge.  I want to assure all of you who could not enter your cards with the Inlinkz tool that I have made sure that your entries are in for the prize draw.  We will not be using the Inlinkz for this challenge so when you submit your entries please do so in the comments.  I apologize if anyone did not receive a comment on their card for this challenge.  Due to the trouble with Inlinkz we were bouncing between the comments and Inlinkz and may have missed commenting on entries.

We would like to welcome two new DT members.  Emma and Susan of Two Pink Ladies, a mother and daughter team, are beginning their term with this challenge.    Welcome,  Emma and Susan we look forward to seeing all of your wonderful creations.   Now for the challenge.....



The theme for the this challenge is...

SUSAN


Here are two free digital images that I created.  Feel free to grab them to use.  All I ask is that you credit me with their creation and please direct others back to this site to collect the images.  I would love to see how these images are being used. 

Thank you
Stacy Walker
