Well the day is finally here. I hope that you all enjoyed your time hopping with us over the last couple of weeks. We certainly enjoyed hearing from all of you. If you haven't already done so, we hope that you will join in on our current challenge that runs till the end of the month. The theme is Celebrations.
I went really technical to pick the winner of my image. I wrote all of your lovely names and the number of your comment on pieces of paper and my dear daughter Kaitlynn picked the name out of a bowl for me. So the winner of my image is Angela Bonanno! Congratulations Angela, I'm so happy that you were able to hop along with us. Please contact Margy at info@digistamps4joy.co.za to collect your prize.
Thank you again to all who hopped with us. In celebration of our 100th Challenge, I have a small gift for one of my followers, who lives in Canada or the USA, who leaves a comment on this posting. I will be back on Sept. 24th to announce who my winner is.
Hugs ~ Charlene

Digistamps4Joy New Release Sept. 28, 2014...Birthday Wishes
It time for a new release again at Digistamps4Joy, my but the time seems to be flying by. And our fabulous artists have really outdone themselves this week. But before I get on with the new release, I would like to announce the winner of my small gift for our 100th Challenge Celebration. I'm so sorry that I am late announcing my winner. For some reason my brain told me I had put the end of the month, but when I checked I had put the 24th. So I do apologize for the wait. There were only 2 comments so it was quite easy to pick...so my winner is #1 UT's Hobby Time! Congratulations please send me an email at charlenebell2@hotmail.com with your full name and address and I will get your prize out to you asap.
And now back to the new release. This week I got to play with an image called Record Player that our new artist Riette drew up. It's such a fun little image. My mom was looking for a birthday card while she was here and asked if I could make one up for her, so this is what I came up with.
I coloured the image with my Prisma pencil crayons and oms. I cut it out with my Nestibilities Square Scallop (I think that what it's called lol). The background is an image from the Silhouette store called Musical Flourish and the Happy Birthday is also from Silhouette. The rhinestones and musical notes are from my stash.
Thanks so much for dropping by. I hope that you will head over to the Digistamps4Joy Challenge Blog and check out all of the other new images and the fabulous creations my team mates have come up with to inspire you.
