Last day to VOTE for TGF's Royal Battle...

Hello my cyber friends! Today, Tuesday, is the last day to vote for round 4 in The Greeting Farm's Royal Battle. If we make it through, it will be the fifth and FINAL week. Can you help push us to the finals? I think 6 or 7 teams are being cut. We cannot do it without your help! There is only ONE vote allowed this week. May we count on you for another round of voting? Here is a direct link to Lesley's creation for this week:

As a reminder, Lesley stamped and colored the Flirty Edward stamp, stamped the cellophane wrappers with a club Anya stamp AND made the chocolate!!!!! Whew!!! She was a busy girl!!!! Help reward this effort with a vote :) Ha ha...I am shameless...I know ;)

Ok...now I am super backed up with posts, so I am going to see if I can run a stretch of them ;) This card was made for SSC's Punch and Die Cutter Challenge Group. This group has been revamped and saved from the chopping block! SOOOO excited we are keeping this group. I really feel good when I can utilize my dies and die cut machines. I still adore my Quickutz dies. I haven't bought any new ones lately....only Cricut cartridges. Is it my imagination or are the Cricut cartridges getting REALLY good as of late? I have like 5 or 6 on my must have list. Can you say 'BROKE'...ha ha!!! Anyway....back to the new group challenge. It is now running bi-monthly and has some new twists added.

The challenge for April 8, 2010 is to use an animal on your card or layout. The twist is that the animal must have more than 2 legs and no wings. Remember, you have until the end of the month to finish your challenge. There will be a new one posting this Thursday, April 22, 2010. Participating in both will get you 2 chances for the Designer of the Month Drawing!!!
