A Punchy Challenge....

Sorry I have been out of touch and that I didn't get last weeks post up. We had a bit of a family emergency and I honestly didn't even think about the group for awhile. Two weeks ago my SIL who is 31, six and a half months pregenant with her first baby, started having problems. She said she just felt out of breath like she had run up alot of stairs. A long story short They finally said that she had faulty wiring in her heart that it had probably been there since birth and just became evident with the stress of pregnancy. They didn't want to put her on meds because of the baby but ultimately did put her on a low dose. Which could still pose a risk to the baby from what they said. Then she ended up in the hospital on Friday last week and we nearly lost both of them over the next several days until they finally got the meds right.

Now I don't know what is wrong with the inlinkz linky from the last challenge. I appologize for that. Due to that I will be back in a little bit with the winner. It takes a little longer going thru the comments.

The challenge this week is acutally the one that was due to go up last week. You may have seen it mentioned on the DT's blogs already but it is finally here. We want you to Get Punchy! Pull those punches out and have fun with them.

The prize this week is a bottle of Tim Holtz Distress Crackle Paint in Tattered Rose and two small spools of ribbon.

Now lets see what the fabulous design team has come up with. They always blow me away. Now I am sad to say that we are losing some of our current team. They have other obligations and are cutting back. They will be greatly missed. Hopefully we will still see them around some. Due to this fact keep an eye out for an upcoming DT call sometime this week.

this weeks challenge....

Thanks for the well wishes everyone but everything is fine. I had taken a little break for a couple of weeks because it was my babys 7th birthday and I had a ton to get ready for it. I had planned to be back to post last weeks challenge. Unfortunately something came up last minute and we just had a little communication mishap. I am so thankful for Linda because she figured it out and just jumped right back in for me. Thanks so much! I owe you!

It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is upon us. This year is flying by for me. Since this week is a holiday we will not be posting a new challenge this weekend, so we can all focus on other things. You will have until Dec. 4th to play along with this challenge.

The sponsor this week is Hambo Stamps. If you haven't been by the Hambo Stamps shop be sure to stop by. They have such cute images, rubber and digital. The winner this week will receive a $15 gift certificate for digital images at Hambo Stamps!

With the holiday this week we are keeping it simple. We have a wonderful sketch by our very own Dee this week.
