The best inheritance a FATHER can leave his children is a good example + Blog Hop Winners


First of all I would like thank all of my lovely Followers for joining in the Blog Hops hosted here during April and May.  The winners already know who they are and have received their prizes, but I would like mention them here.  For the DS4J Blog Hop, Olga Bester was the winner of my $15 DS4J Gift Voucher for digi images, and for the Lolla Polooza Hop, Anne Marie Hile was the winner of my $10 DS4J Gift Voucher.  Congrats to you ladies and thank you for becoming Followers here.

So onto new business now ... I was very honoured to have been approached by Jen Leeflang to be a once of guest designer for Shelley's Images.  Its Terrifically Thrilling Thursday at Shelly's Images and another fun challenge. The theme for this week's challenge is "Its All in the Numbers - Use a NUMBER somewhere on your project"  I had the privilege of receiving this image to create my project with.




















One randomly chosen commenter on this post will receive a gift voucher from  Shelley's Images :















... and this is my tent card design using the digi image.  I decided to make a father's day card as it is on the horizon in June here in South Africa:




Once again I used H2O's to colour the image.  The sentiment is a free digi download from Desert Diva.  Just right click on it and save it to your computer.  



Hope you like it and will hop over to Terrifically Thrilling Thursday at Shelly's Images and take part in the challenge.
