If you have not been to her store lately, stop over and see what you have been missing. 



The second sponsor is Creative Inspirations and they are offering 10 jars of iridescent water based paint that will add brilliance and sparkle to your creations. Not to enable your crafting addiction further but to let you know, Inspiration paints are available in 55 beautiful colors. 

So here's your sketch:

THE RULES

  • You will have one week to flip the Sketch, twist the Sketch, work the Sketch and submit the Sketch.
  • You are not required to use Bonibleaux Designs Digis although it would make us really really happy and giggle a lot if you did!
