and our wonderful sponsor this week is the lovely Krista Smith of Saturated Canary offering two digi's of the winner's choice.........so ladies time to get creating.

Krista also provided the DT with the image of their choice to use for their cards this week, and I think the "A" team has really outdone themselves with their cards for your inspiration.

Shame Donna, Shame
Anyways good ole Mr. Random.org has no excuses, so he very kindly stepped forward and chose #28 Spyder
