Now onto our new challenge! This time, Maria has chosen a theme of Sparkle and Shine! Our sponsor is the wonderful Toni at The Digi Shack!

Here's a little about the company:

“TDS just celebrated our first birthday in May of this year and it’s been a wonderful year. TDS was born out of the want to have a super cute eclectic line of images in rubber. Unfortunately the cost of having any sort of actual stamp made was way beyond my budget at the time and digi’s were just getting popular so I thought it was a good place to start. After I discovered how popular digi’s were becoming I changed my mind on going into actual stamps. That’s not to say someday we won’t change our minds but for now, digi’s are a fast, economical way to paper craft, not to mention the instant gratification of placing your order and having your images in just minutes.

Since we’ve opened we’ve had a few independent artists create images for us. We are lucky to have two very talented artists working with TDS right now. Marlene Shaw and Brian Lock. Both are amazingly talented and really popular with our fan base. They are the best artists to work with and they are 100% original which means so much to TDS because we strive to not having images like everyone else! All of our original images (not drawn by Marlene or Brian) are just $1 which is just about a third of the cost of most digis. Even our Brian Lock and Marlene Shaw image line is just $2 per individual image. Quite a steal if you think about it. TDS releases new images often. At least monthly but sometimes bi-weekly. We love what we do and hope that you stop by and see what we have in our digi shop.”

The prize this time is the winner's choice of digis from TDS!
