Make It Monday #74 with Di's Digi Downloads

Hi MIM fans!!

Welcome to our newest followers.
It's nice to have some new faces joining us in this fun linky party each week.

I know it has been exceptionally cold for so many of you this week but for us here in Australia it has been a real scorcher. But, you know how it is, too hot or too cold it's always the perfect weather for crafting, lol.

And it would seem that many of you did just that with a whopping 236 amazing entries last week.

You guys are nothing if not consistent in wowing us each and every week with your creative talents.

You were also keen commenters last week which is what we like to see!! Keep spreading that blog love around!!

I am so glad that I don't have to pick an entry to be our featured blogger each week (it's hard enough choosing one to be my favourite each week to showcase on my blog).


Good old Mr random.org has the unenviable task but has chosen a real stunner this week from


Gerogirl The Paper Princess



I'll give you a minute shall I? Just sit there and take in the absolute beauty of this layout. (please pick your chin  up off the floor though if you don't mind, lol)

Isn't it just amazing?!!

Please hop on over to Celeste's blog to see some more photos of the those gorgeous flowers.

Thank you so much Celeste for sharing this amazing creation with us last week.

Mr random.org also chose our wonderful commenter of the week which is.......

Everyone loves these fun and sweet digis! Here's little bit about them...
Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: A Short Essay

As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two years ago. Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing! From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects. Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week!

If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps stamps at Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug.

Our links are:

Store : http://www.bugaboostamps.com/

Catch the bug Challenge blog: http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/


Bugaboo Stamps are offering a very generous prize of winner's choice of 7 single digis!

And this week we have two Bugaboo designers join us to show off their fabulous makes!






And now onto our own design team's gorgeous makes for this week's linky party!
