Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More is proud to sponsor this challenge.
Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More, a division of I Did It Creations, was created and is
is owned by Robyn Weinrib. Robyn offers a wonderful variety of digital stamps and digital papers, designed to meet the needs of all digital paper crafting addicts for every occasion.

Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More is happy to offer the winner of this challenge 5 digital stamps or 4 digital stamps and 1 digital paper set of their choice.

Now the theme this week has been a struggle for the DT as they didn't realise how reliant they had become on this one item in their card making. So what are we talking about . . . our designer or printable papers . . . so this weeks theme is set to probably challenge everyone and is called . . .

"Put those papers away"

We would love to see your projects without any of your adorable backing papers in sight. So in other words you will have to create your own using stamps, glimmer mists or masks. Perhaps you could just use embossing as your design feature . . . the challenge is actually quite easy once you get your head around it !!! OK, here is what the DT came up with to get you all started.
