Challenge #74 ~ Use Metal

Good morning! We are so glad to have you join us for our next challenge here at 2 Sisters.  Please scroll down to the post below to see who the winner and top 3 are for last week's Things With Wings challenge.

We are being sponsored this week by......

Digi Doodle Shop

Digi Doodle Shop is the results of a mother and daughter’s love for the arts and crafts.  It was started a little over 3 years ago with a little more than 100 stamps, and has since then grown to almost 500 stamps.  Joy (the mother of this team) designs realistic images, while Judy (aka/daughter) loves the “fun side of life”, and create images with a cartoon flair.  Having these two complimenting styles have enabled

Digi Doodle Shop to offer a wide variety of stamps.
 
It is a real honor and pleasure to sponsor this challenge, and we look forward to seeing all the amazing creations.  We thank the design team for their incredible creations, and wish all the participants the very best of luck in this challenge.

Thank you so much for having us, and again the very best of luck to all of you.

Sincerely,

Judy and Joy

Our challenge this week is to add......

METAL

So all you need to do is create a card or project and include metal somewhere on it. So pull out your charms, brads, eyelets,etc...whatever you have that is metal and show us how creative you can get with it.  We look forward to seeing all your creations.

Judy & Joy have given the design team some images to play with this week. We hope that you will be inspired by what we have created.  Please check out the DT blogs to find out more about each project.  You can find a link to each DT's blog in the sidebar.

The Stamping Boutique

I'm Tracey Malnofski, the artist and owner of The Stamping Boutique. My team and I are very happy to sponsor Twosisterschallengeblog. My store has been oped open since September 2009. I am currently a stamp artist for UnityStampCo. and I've worked for InStyleStamps, Squigglefly, and TheDigiShack in the past. I'm a professional artist and an active member of the Artist' Guild in my community. I have quite a busy household with a husband, 3 teenagers, 5 mini-dachshunds and an Appaloosa mare. It's noisy, but I love them all. I'm truly blessed.

"The Stamping Boutique" is dedicated to quality products and original artwork. We not only provide wonderful digital images in our store, but also several lines of red rubber images. Our designers are chosen for their character and personality,as well as, their beautiful designs. We work hard to give you our very best. Thank you so much for having us as your sponsor this week.

Tracey gave the DT a few images to play around with this week.  We hope you like what we created and are inspired to join in.......
