Once again I am so excited to announce a new sponsor we have on board here at Dutch Dare.  Dr. Digis House of Stamps

 Here's a little bit about them:

Welcome to the brilliantly bizarre brain of Dr. Digi's House of Stamps.  Here you will find monsters, aliens, odd balls and Dundertons as well as many many more wonderful digital stamps. Our artist and founder cut his teeth in the craft world at the company "Just  Inklined", where his unique digis made a huge impression. We're hoping to continue to entertain and amuse, with our growing catalogue of great value digis with a sense of humour.

Our challenge for you this week is SPORTS.   So a great card for the boys/men in your life.  I know lots of girls play sports too....my daughter figure skates, but I need any excuse possible to make cards for guys because I just never seem to have enough on hand!

Our DT has been lucky enough to play with some super fun images from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps for their cards this week.  Have a look:

So now that you have seen the fabulous creations from my wonderful DT, I hope you'll play along with us this week for your chance to win 2 images from Dr. Digis House of Stamps. Your creation must feature a sport of any kind:-)
As always, the rules for our challenges are listed above, please follow them:-)  Thank you!
