Challenge 19

Great Steampunk designs by everyone, as usual.  It always amazes me how we each interpret the same theme.  I think one thing is we can all agree on, Steampunk has cogs and clocks as a central theme.  The lucky Winner and Top 3 will be announced later this week. 

This Challenge sees our new DT members Caz, Martina, Robin, Crafting Vicky and Vicky P-R airing their first projects for CWWCC and I hope you are as impressed as I am with their creations.  I think they will fit perfectly with our already awesome DT.  If you would like to hop over and give the DT some love you will find their link on the sidebar to the right.

Now onto the theme for Challenge 19

Fashion and Pearls

Our great Sponsor is 

Digi Doodle Shop

Here is what our sponsor has to say

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

The DT were given some fabulous images to work with and I personally would like a pair of every design.  The designs are Fun with Shoes 2

STEAMPUNK

Our sponsors are Sassy Studio Designs

Sassy Studio Designs

Sassy Studio Designs is a fresh new company. We have been designing and selling for 2 years now, and we have been kindly received into the community of digi stampers and crafters. I started designing images shortly after I started stamping, reason being...I didn't hardly like anything else out there I was a young adult woman at the time I was engaged, had no kids, I wanted fun sexy images that I would enjoy using and my friends and hubby would enjoy receiving. I designed images for 2 other digi stamp companies when my wonderful hubby kept trying to get me to go out on my own. So in June 2009 thanks to the few faithful followers I had, Sassy Studio Designs was born!  It has been a wonderful journey starting my own store. We have just grown so much these past months.I still try to keep with my original philosophy and reason for designing stamps, make them fun and keep them sassy...and yes sometimes even sexy!

This week we are joined by two fabulous Guest Designers from the Sassy Studio Designs DT:
