Anything Goes Challenge No. 53

Welcome to another wonderful week of anything goes! We're so happy you could join us! We've some fantastic makes to share with you today but before I get to it, let me point out our new tab at the top of the page.
We're having a DT Call! Yes! I hope you'll take the time to read all about it and if you know anyone... including yourself... who would jump at the chance to play along with our challenges as a DT member, be sure to tell them to contact me!
Then... on a sad note, our DT member, Diane Ahlers took a tumble a couple of weeks ago and injured herself! To the point that... *GASP!*... she can't craft! It must feel like the end of the world for her! I know I would feel like that! So she's had to step down from the Team. We're so gonna miss her fabulous makes and presence on the Team! I hope you'll take the time to wish her a speedy recovery along with the Team!
So now... for the challenge... we've two generous sponsors this week. We have Little Blue Button Stamps offering a $10 GC for ONE lucky winner and and The Cutting Cafe with THREE sets for a second winner! Woohoo! Gotta love that! :)

LITTLE BLUE BUTTON STAMPS
Hello! My name is Olga. I'm the owner and designer of Little Blue Button Stamps. All the designs you can see in our releases were illustrated by me! 
Little Blue Button Stamps started its life in December 2012 as free digital stamps company "Digital designs by Olga". Later in spring 2013 it was reborn as Little Blue Button Stamps and first Design Team started its work. In the summer of 2013 we started to produce rubber stamps which were pressed and packed by C.C.Designs company. In Fall 2014 we started to release clear stamps but due to some problems in my life I had to shut down both clear and rubber and continue with digital stamps only.
We have our Little Blue Button Stamps online store where you can buy digital stamps for a very great price.

Winners and DT Favorites: Challenge No. 51

Welcome, bloggers! We had a fantastic turnout with a mind-boggling 217 entries last week!
I'd like to update one and all real quick before I get to the business at hand. I know I'd written a few post ago that we'd be selecting GDs from the winners to play along with us in future challenges. Well... I've not forgotten about that and I'd still like to pursue that; however, I've a mess going on at home right now and it's consuming all my free time. As soon as I can whip my life back together and get on track, we will be contacting previous winners to see if anyone is interested in doing a GD spot with us! :D
Also, on a sad note, our talented Ivy Segarra-Steele is announcing her departure from the team for personal reasons. I hope you all will join in with me and wish her well in her future endeavors. 
Now... to the business at hand... thankfully, we use Random.org to pick our winners. Our sponsors last week were fabulous Artbymiran with THREE digis for our first winner and the fun Doctor Digi's House of Stamps with TWO digis for our second winner. 
For Artbymiran, Random.org chose:
Please put IDCB Winner No. 51 - ABM in the subject line.
For Doctor Digi's House of Stamps, Random.org chose:

Congratulations! Please send an email to inspirationdestinationcb@gmail.com within 7 days. We will provide you with info on how to collect your prize.
