Hi Everyone, my name is Stitchy and I create under the name Stitchy Stamps...I have been creating digital images for designers for almost a year now and try to learn something new everyday...I started out in paint shop pro about 8 years ago and started making digital scrap kits...then I was introduced to the wonderful world of paper crafts and card designing...like I said, learning new everyday, the rest is history...I can't draw enough to keep me satisfied anymore lol...
Living in a small town in upstate New York, tucked away where cable doesn't even go...friends are far and few between...But being on the internet for the past 10 years, I have gathered quite a few from around the world...Just like I learn something new everyday, I also try to meet someone new every day too...
Thank you Angela and Company for allowing me to sponsor for you...I am truly honored..."
Stitch is awesome to work with and deal with! Be sure to check out our Sponsor teams work throughout the week in our slideshow above using some great images that Stitch generously let the team work with!!!

Our sponsor this week is...

The Cutting Cafe!!

We love having The Cutting Cafe join us every other month to sponsor our challenges. Regina has once again generously donated 3 sets from The Cutting Cafe store of the winners choice. How awesome is that!!!

Hello my name is Regina Easter. I have 4 wonderful children and an awesome supportive husband. I have for as long as I can remember loved all the aspects of creating things with paper and drawing. So it was only fitting that I decided to open up The Cutting Cafe' and I am loving every bit of this new venture. The Cutting Cafe' offers affordable Printable Stamps and Cutting Files. The Cutting Files which are basically just like templates are files that you Print out using your home printer, Cut, Assemble and then Embellish.....Very Easy.....The Cutting Files also come in the format where you can cut out the files using some of the latest Machine Cutters like the Pazzles Inspiration, Bosskut Gazelle and Cricut (with Scal software). The Printable Stamps are just that, images that are sent to you through email that you print out using your home printer. After the images are printed out, you can just color them in like you would any other stamped imaged...One great thing about the Printable Stamps and Cutting Files is that you no longer have to worry about finding space to store all of your stamps....You can keep them all in a folder in your computer and use over and over again.

The image is Eris Blowing Cupcake and can be bought at the Sew Many Cards Shop. All of the 2009 images are redrawn and updated, so make sure to stop by the shop.

Now it's your turn to join in the challenge this week and have a chance to win $20 worth of digital stamps at the SMC shop! Your mission, if you chose to accept it, is to create a project with any three embellishments or techniques AND a charm, in honor of our Three's a Charm Blog Hop-
