Pile It On Challenge #141 - Small and/or Pencils

Our April challenge is Think Small (Children, Baby animals, Tiny embellishments, Small-sized projects) and since it's the 3rd Sunday of the month, it's time for our monthly optional bonus theme: Pencils (use colored pencils or a pencil theme). You can choose one or both themes, and you may enter the challenge as many times you like, as long as you are inspired by at least one other Challenge theme.

We're sponsored by A Day for Daisies and one lucky participant will receive 3 of their fun digi stamps. The prize winner & Sweet Sprinkles will be announced on May 13.

A Day For Daisies (ADFD) provides themed categories of over 1000 digital illustrations, including fairy tales and magical mermaids, cutie kids, vintage illustrations, sentiments and lovely designs for all occasions!

Re-draw Winner for February Challenge

We have so much fun bringing you challenges every month, and so appreciate our sponsors who make it all the sweeter! Unfortunately, prizes are not always claimed. We have a policy that it is the winner's responsibility to contact us, but I do make an effort to contact the winner directly if I don't hear from them. Our winners are always announced on the second Sunday of the month, so be sure to stop by if you participated in the previous challenge.

Which is why I have decided to re-draw the winner for our February Challenge; I think it's too fun a prize to let go unclaimed!
