DP2 Challenge #19

The February hostess, Dawn, has put together another terrific challenge.. it's 'Clean 'n Simple'.

Dawn's interpretation for this week's challenge is... Use white or cream cardstock, your image from Mo's Digital Pencil, and one ribbon.. it's that simple... and, no additional layers!

What a refreshing change, not having to trawl through endless papers to decide which one best fits the challenge! Thoroughly enjoyed the challenge ... thanks Dawn!

This week Papertake Weekly so pleased to introduce a new sponsor for us ... Stitchy from Stitchy Stamps. Here is a little bit about Stitchy and her work - I have been creating stamps for about 8 months now and absolutely became addicted when I learned how..I started with paint shop pro about 6 years ago and use to design scraps for scrapbooking..I introduced a good scrapper friend of mine to digi stamps and she decided to open a store - Digital-Ink,Co - about 5 months ago and the rest is history lol...So the challenge this week is "Check This Out" And quite simply we just want to see some gingham or checks included in your work. It could be a ribbon or included on the design paper. As always, this is entirely up to you.
