Challenge 16 - by 9th November

Hello everyone :)
(EDIT: NEW PRIZE FOR GRABS - GO LOOK AT THE END OF THE POST)

So much exciting news to share with you this week so better go ahead.

Firstly the last few weeks I have had my eye on some people and they have agreed to be part of our Offical Design Team - so let me introduce you :)

Firstly there is
Chris of Catt's Scratching Post
Yes - she has been on the Design Team, but behind the scenes she has done so much in helping me out I have offered her the position of DESIGN TEAM LEADER and she has accepted!! I am so blessed to have met you Chris :)

Now for the big reveal :) We are welcoming 2 NEW designers at Incy Wincy Designs and welcoming back someone who you may or may not know??? more on that later....

Last week we had Guest Designer
Liz of Lace, Ribbons, Buttons and Bows
well she has agreed to be part of the Design Team as well :) She has been working hard getting her friends to come over and play - so thank you Liz for all you have done :)

Joining us also is
Cheryl of Cheryl's Creative ATCs and Cards
When I saw Cheryl's work I loved how different it was, not just the usual cards. She puts herself into her work :)

Lastly.... If you have been with Incy Wincy Designs for awhile you would know of
Greg of Whistling Crafter
who is my younger brother and took to crafting like a duck to water. He has been "fishing" for awhile and has finally found some energy to create again :)

and then there is me Heather of Vanilla Hevn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This weeks challenge :)
This week Chris chose one of my sketches for you all to follow
Here is our GUEST DESIGNER FOR THIS WEEK
Alex of Paper and String

Alex said "Ok, this is not my most exciting and elegant card ever, but when I saw the sketch and the cat and mouse all I could think of was our cat when the hamster is running around in his exercise ball, LOL!!"
I love it :) Using inspiration from her life and what she knows :)
Thank you Alex :)

and here is what the design team has come up with
