***CHALLENGE #111***
America (that's me!), am proud to be hosting this Challenge and have chosen to go with an *ALL BLACK AND WHITE - ONLY* theme. So, you are hereby challenged to only use BLACK AND WHITE on your creations! Can you handle that?? To make it easier, you may use skin colors and fur shading if you'd like, but you MUST try to keep everything Black and White, or the Meece-Micey-Mouse Police might come after you! LOL!! :)

We proudly welcome back Di's Digi Downloads!
Thank you for your continued support and amazing generosity!!

The winner will receive a $10 voucher to Di's Digi Shop.
Di's Digi Downloads is a great little company offering lots of super adorable digi stamps!

AND to add to the excitement of this *ALL BLACK AND WHITE CHALLENGE*, here's a second  prize offered by your CHALLENGE HOST, America. It's for a House-Mouse Designs Stamp called; "Bobbing on Apples", along with its matching sentiment "Mice At Play" & some cute Mice & Apple themed charms.
That's 2 fun prizes, and that means 2 chances for you to WIN a prize if you play along! :)

Good Morning All. I wanted to tell the DT that they have outdone themselves. It is not always easy to pull of a black and white card, but each and every one of you did if perfectly. CONGRATS to the winners of challenge #110. I am having trouble getting Blogger to send me to others blogs, but I will catch up on Wednesday when I am back in action. (A little R & R with Hubby). Enjoy your week.
