We so appreciate our DT and the help they give us. Congrats to our winner and we love our followers who support us by playing along each week.

  22. After over a week with a slow internet connection and missing quite a few challenges I normally do, I was determined I wasn't going to miss this one with such a great sketch by Arlana. Enjoyed this one and proud of my card and really really glad I got it finished and uploaded in time! Look forward to the next challenge and having faster internet back.
