We have some fab prizes in store for you this week:

We're pleased to welcome Digi Doodle Shop back to Cupcake. Here's what Judy and Joy have 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 three years ago, with little more than 100 stamps, and has since 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 creates images with a cartoon flair. Having these two complementing styles have enabled Digi Doodle Shop to offer a wide variety of stamps.

It's a real honour and pleasure to sponsor this Challenge, and we look forward to seeing all the amazing creations. We thank the Design Team for all their incredible creations, and wish all the participants the very best of luck.

Thank you so much for having us, and again, the very best of luck to you all.

Digi Doodle Shop are kindly offering one lucky winner, chosen at random, a $10 Gift Certificate to spend in store.
