Happy Sunday Everyone!!  This is my second post of the day!  There is so much going on today in blogland with new releases and hops.  If you are here for the Our Daily Bread Designs Blog hop, please scroll down to the next post.

Today it is time for new digi releases at Whimsy as well as a new challenge for the month of August.  This month I am one of the dt members on the challenge team.  This month Whimsy has chosen the nice and easy challenge of ANYTHING GOES! Therefore, you can create what you like, whether it be a card, altered item, LO, bookmark, bag, etc. but remember that to qualify for entry into the prize draw, you must use a Whimsy Stamps image (rubber or digi).

The prize for this month's challenge will be 5 Digital Images of the winner's choice!

To enter our August challenge, please provide a DIRECT link to your new creation by Noon EST on August 31st using the InLinkz feature at the Whimsy blog.

Here is my take on this month's Whimsy challenge:

 I used the newest rubber stamp release,Jelly Bean from Whimsy Stamps illustrated by Crissy Armstrong.
an the Ticket sentiments designed by Ann Vento. Isn't Jellybean just darling.  A dear friend of mine just had a baby girl and I thought this would be perfect.  I used the Midnight Madness sketch for this week.  The dp is from Basic Grey Capella. I paired it up with Groovy Guava, Blush blossom and Kraft from SU.

other challenges:
 Paper play~open, Dutch Dare~ open, Creative Inspirations~animals, Simon Says~going Dotty, Paper Sundaes~Stitching, Rosie D's- all creatures great and small, Corrosive ~Anything goes Cowgirl Sunday~Animals and bugs, One Stitch at a Time~little pink,
by the cute and girly ~ Animals, anything goes - Punches, Digi Doodle ~ Punch or cut me
Dutch Dare ~ anything goes, Mami Doodles ~ Anything Goes, Stampin with the Dragon - Distressing
Ellephantastic- Distressing
For more inspiration for this challenge, please visit my uber talented dt sisters:

Simonne Clay

And For even more fun...Whimsy is also having a new release digi hop.  The team has a lot of inspiration to share with the new images created by Crissy, Ann, and Melissa!!!!


  If you leave comments along the way on the hop there will be two Mystery DT Members who will each be choosing a winner from the comments left on their hop posts! These winners will each win a Whimsy digi image of there choice.

AND   The Grand winner of the hop chosen from the very last stop will receive 5 new digital stamps of their choice from Whimsy, and you will also get a chance to use those new digital images as a guest designer for Whimsy for the entire month of August.

The hop will run until 12 noon EST 7th August  To go to the blog hop, click here.

Thanks for stopping by and for your comments!! Have a great weekend!!


Blessings,
