We use Random.org to pick our winners. Our sponsors last week were Cute as a Button with two digis for our first winner and Fresh Brewed Designs with a $10 gift card!
###################
Before I announce last week's winners, I'd like to announce a redraw winner for the sixth time. Because I've allowed Mr. Random to select a winner and none has stepped forward, this week, I hand picked a winner from participants who left comments and so for Challenge No. 61, the winner of three digis from Pattie's Creations and out of EIGHT comments from that challenge, I chose:
Please put IDCB Winner No. 61 PC in the subject line.

Our fabulous sponsors are Cute as a Button with two digis for our first winner and Fresh Brewed Designs with a $10 gift card!

CUTE AS A BUTTON
Welcome to my little corner of cyberspace. I'm Francesca and live in Rancho Cucamonga, California. I have four wonderful children, 2 granddaughters and a very understanding and godly hubby who I have been married to for almost 30 years now.
I’m the Owner/Artist/Designer of Cute As A Button Stamps. I’ve been a crafty, artsy kind of girl since the age of 4, like forever! My dream has always been to have a career in the creative arts. I have worked both in the non-profit and in the legal corporate world for over 30 years before opening Cute As A Button Stamps, which is now my full time gig. I have been diagnosed with several debilitating sicknesses and was also laid off from work in 2013,. I needed to find something that had no start up costs and could help support my family, thus, Cute As A Button Stamps was opened in 2013. We have grown and now have over 300 Digi Stamps, and will be offering rubber stamps, card toppers and more items very soon.
I am also an ordained minister and have been in ministry for over 27yrs and have traveled the earth sharing the Gospel of Jesus. There is nothing I love more than going about My Father's business and showing others how much He loves them and has a purpose and plan for their lives.
I am excited to share my artwork with the community and love to draw images that come to mind throughout my day and share them with you. I am not only humbled but honored to see the beautiful works of art this community makes with my images. I am so blown away and in awe of the creativity of such wonderful people.
I have such a supportive family who has been behind me since the get go. My hubby, kiddos, grandchildren, and my travels are constant inspiration for my images.
I love a life where I can make others happy but support my family and keep them happy at the same time! I’m so thankful to God for all the blessings and that thru all the unnamed obstacles during this journey.
I invite you to become a follower of my blog. I plan for great things to share with everyone. I am sure you won't want to miss any of the fun challenges we have planned. You are welcome to hang around so we can get to know each other.
All of our designs are done by owner/artist Francesca Lopez. You can visit her Challenge blog at Cute As A Button Challenge.
