    Some news about the team:
As we shared last month, Teresa is leaving us 
to pursue her art more actively
and we're going to miss her more than she can imagine.
Sending virtual hugs your way, my friend.

On a happier note, we have Vicki joining us
and we're thrilled about that!
Here's a little bit about her:

Hello friends!  My name is Vicki Parson and I'm so delighted to be a part of this special challenge team!  I have been a lover of critters ever since I can remember!  I've always been around animals since childhood and I truly believe that they can enrich your life for the better in so many different ways!  As a child growing up surrounded by many types of animals out in the country, I have so many fond memories!  What better way to honor all of those memories with my "animal pals" than to create and share my love of them each month!  I really enjoy spreading smiles as far as I can and this is just another way for me to share that with you!  If you'd like to see more smiles from me, please visit me on my blog - Stamped Smiles.

I look forward to sharing my critter creations with you and I can't wait to see your creations in the gallery!

I love the beautiful background and the way the image is mounted onto the card, it really stands out. The ladybirds and flowers are colored perfectly and the sparkle on the wings is gorgeous!  Who doesn't love to see ladybirds in the summer!!

CarolG - #30 Jane Willis
A simple, stylish design with delicate touches and 
always great to use a new-to-you technique.

NanaConnie - #20 Janet
I love her fabulous coloring and the CAS design.
The embellies she added to the one corner are 
perfect for a "by the sea" theme.


Donna - #105 Birgit
Beautiful colors and my favorite style of windblown leaves
 with a darling furry friend peering from the bottom 
with the happiest of expressions!  Melts my heart.


Ine - # 28 Shani Thomas (Paperesse)
I really love the colours; they all match so well 
and are so bright.  The digi is also really cute.
Cheryl - 31 Didos

This is sooo cute, I love cute.  The layers are so perfect and 

the colouring and expressions on their faces

 are amazing.  It would make a good valentine too.

Lynn - #130 Heather Mills

I love the great mix of patterned paper, pop of blue, 
and that stunning fox.

Now, the September Challenge!

 We're sponsored this month by Ike's Art.

Hi there – I am Ike……a nickname that I got many years ago due to my surname and, in my profession at that time, they just loved to give nicknames.  I live in Greece and have a passion for kitties.  I am a bit crazy or should I say I’m ‘zany.'   I have a very strange sense of humour and I must admit I spend a lot of time talking to myself !  Well, I get more sense out of me!  I reckon in a few years I shall be known as the “crazy cat lady.” 

I am an artist and have a strange mind when it comes to creating my art.  I either go completely true to life… right down to the last hair… or I go totally surreal.  I started my Blog a few years ago and now I run my CATS ONLY Challenge Blog and IKEs WORLD CHALLENGES, too.  Although I love crafting, my real passion is drawing, and I just love making digital images.

My Blog is Ikes World and is at http://suzy-ikesworld.blogspot.com 

My Challenge Blog is http://ikesworldchallengeblog.blogspot.com

DT Favorites:

Lori - Crafty #3
I love hummingbirds and this one is colored beautifully!  
I love the paper that you used, too!  Just screams summer!!

CarolG - #77 Sharon R

I picked this 'Boy and his dog' because it is so quirky and street-arty, 
had great colouring and layering and was simply irresistible.

NanaConnie - #18 Twisted Witch - Lin
I love her coloring, the sparkle, and that delicate die cut
 she used to frame the beautiful mermaid.  The fish
embellishments are so perfect!


Donna - Vicki and Mocca #141
Vicki wrote a beautiful tribute page to her dear fur-ever friend, Mocca, who recently passed away.  Vicki's photos, layouts, and written words express the richness our pets and critters the world over give to us.
Thank you, Vicki, for sharing Mocca with us.

Cheryl - Anet - 24

I'm a real fan of Paper Nest Dolls so this was great to see. Sooo cute and with a great big ice cream (perfect for this hot weather we are having in the UK right now.) Love the pastel tones and that little lad's hair has been coloured amazingly.

Teresa - Monique #105
OMGoodness, what is not to love? The textures, images, and composition of this card (inside and out) are just the beginning of what makes it a little work of art.  I love it.
