What a fabulous 3D turn out we had!! Thanks to everyone who played along, it was so fun to see the variety of projects!

This week we are starting to say our "good-byes" to winter! So your challenge is to create a sample that reminds you of the cold, winter winds that will soon be leaving us!! You can use a winter image, winter colors, or anything you think of when you hear about a cold wind.

We are pleased to be sponsored this week by Whimsy Stamps.
~Whimsy Stamps is a family owned art stamp company dedicated to providing crafters around the world with whimsical and fun rubber stamp designs. Their exclusive stamps are great for card making, scrap booking, and many other crafting projects.
