We are taking a brief summer break from challenges but we will be back in September refreshed with loads of new challenges!
But we do have one final one and we thought it was fit to end with a challenge about that very special person in your life, Mom.

For my DT card for this challenge, I used one of our sponsor's images!  Isn't she just sooooo adorable!  My card stocks are from graphic 45.  My image was printed out on my computer acouple of times and then popped up on the top layer for more dimension.  My MS punches were used for my image background.  Why not get those supplies out and join us for this challenge!  The Paper Shelter has loads of adorable digital backgrounds and images!

The challenge for this fortnight is Ribbon. Ribbon is one of my favorite embellishments to use, and I know that many of you like it too. We can't wait to see your ribbon embellishments.

Pixie Cottage Sketch #117 and/or the color green

For my Pixie Cottage project for this week, I created this cute little tag to put on a baby shower gift for a co-worker.  My image was tamped in momento ink and colored and shaded with my  copic markers.  My floral cut out square was created with my MS punches.  My ink is SU old olive for the distressing.  My sentiment is by SU.  My cute little bear is a PIXIE COTTAGE exclusive called BEARY TINY.  She is on sale right now too!   There are soooo many wonderful Pixie Exclusive Stamps that are available!

Before we get to this fortnight's challenge, We want to share with you about a special charity. A group is knitting jumper's and beanies for little babies that are born in Africa. The families of these children are so poor that they are being sent home form the hospital in newspapers, earning them the nickname of fish and chips babies.

If you could knit or contribute in any way, I know that it would be much appreciated. I don't knit, but I intend to try my best to make at least one little outfit for these precious children.

You can learn all about it at Dawny's website here. Please help if you can in any way.

Now on to this week's challenge!!!
Our challenge is to use kraft on your card or project!
