Please e-mail me your details and I'll pass them on to Heather so that she can organise your prize. Big thank yous to Heather for her sponsorship as well xxxx

Now for those of you who don't already know, Peggy is the sister of our very own Sharon :)

And here's a little bit about her and her fabulous products -

I just love working with the Vintage Greeting Cards and have collected quite a large number of them. I am in heaven when I get a new vintage scrapbook and can spend time pouring over the collected cards, letters and mementos. Each scrapbook gives just a little insight into the life and times of the author and their families. The scrapbooks are created with such care and loving that you just know that it was very important to them to save all the tidbits and memories.

I try and take this love and care right into creating my Vintage Greeting Card Image CDs and Cut Outs. Sometimes, I'll even include something from the scrapbook, like a wedding picture of the couple or a sweet little handmade heart from a child to their mommy.

So many times, the scrapbooks are torn apart and the individual pieces sold or thrown away. It just breaks my heart! So all of my scrapbooks are kept together and the CDs are organized by the families not by the grouping of image types.

I have thousands of cards, so if you're looking for that special image or just want to create a quick special card visit one of my stores.

my web page http://www.PeggyLovesVintage.com
or
my etsy store http://www.PeggyLovesVintage.etsy.com
or
my ebay Store PackRat Basement Bargains


And Peggy's fabulous prize is 5 sets of cut outs for not one but TWO winners.

So what's our challenge?
Well it's sketch time here at Papertake and this week it's this one here -

As always, feel free to flip, rotate and resize to your hearts' contents peeps, and as long as you can still the basic sketch then that is fabbidoodles with us xxx

All the DT cards this week have been made using a Peggy Loves Vintage image

And here's the cards peeps.

So onto this week. It's time for another sketch and it's this on here ...



And we have another fabulous sponsor this week and it is the sweetness that is Lou at Lily-Boo

When I showed Lou the sketch, she sprung into action and sent it to Sam who designed some images especially for the sketch - how special do we feel xxxx

And it is these 6 very special images that are up for grabs this week.

Not only that, but Lou has joined us as our special guest designer and has done a gorgeous card as well.

Before we get to the team cards, sadly this is the last week for Lorraine and Heather who have been with us for the last 4 weeks.Huge thank yous to you both for all your hard work and wonderful cards.

And apologies to both Heather and Lou, cos some very dozy person forgot to send Heather her image to work with.

No prizes for guessing who that was!!!
We will have a new GDT for you next week.

So onto the team cards - feast your eyes on these :)x

And the text is an optional extra :)

See you all next week xxx
