Anyway I'm getting of the point you really want to know what the theme is for this weeks Challenge and its all about "Flowers Everywhere" please and this can be either on your backing papers, or your image, or even added as embellishments the choice is yours and we all look forward to seeing what you can create with this theme.
But as always I get ahead of myself all you really want to know is who won last weeks "Make it Digital" and I know that Marie was thrilled to see so many of you had entered the Challenge and that lucky person chosen by our old friend Random Org is:

Well this week the A Team is missing at least Anna who unfortunately has had her computer break down on her and as such is unable to retrieve her card, and hopefully by the time this post goes live we shall have poor Nikki who is not to well with a dreadful cough, so please done be surprised if she does'nt make it and we all wish her a speedy recovery. But good news our fabulous Lilibet is back from her Honeymoon and is raring to go so at least we shall have seven cards to show you this week, and now for the big reveal.
