Anything Goes Challenge No. 109

Hiya, bloggers! Welcome to Challenge No. 109! Where is the time going? Didn't we just get on this crazy ride a couple of months ago? No! It's been two years! Each year I have ideas of a blog hop to celebrate our blogversary and each year, it slips by cause time is just whizzing! Well, we will have something special for sure... hopefully sooner than later. :D
This week we have All Dressed Up and Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps and More as our wonderful sponsors!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hi I am Wendy Burns I live in Nottingham UK with my husband and two children who have been the inspiration behind the characters, in particular my daughter who has kept me up-to-date with blogging and trends. I work predominantly within the textile children’s wear market, fashion and interiors.
I trained as a textile designer and although my work is digital based, I love to retain that hand drawn /sewn feel which I hope comes across in my artwork.
Digital stamps is a new challenge for me and the opportunity to work with the All Dressed Up Team and has been very exciting, in particular the creative way my characters have been given individual personalities by the designers.All Dressed Up is a newly launched blog with an enthusiastic team who are passionate about stamping. The coordinators Anne Lise and Bettina along with an amazing design team are also known as The Dressy Girls.
We have a friendly Facebook page, regular blog posts, tutorials, challenges and freebies. The stamps can be purchased from the Etsy shop which is updated on a monthly basis. 
We really are friendly bunch and would love to see your creations so please feel free to contact us and visit the All Dressed Up Challenge Blog.

Welcome, bloggers! We had a fantastic turnout with 197 entries last week! I think that was awesome considering the little mishap with our linky!
By the way, I want to apologize! I meant to thank you all for the lovely congrats on my granny status last week but my brain is so fried it's a wonder I remember to put on clothes before I leave the house! Ha! My daughter and I are like two children in a candy store oohing and aahing over baby stuff every where we go! It's such an exciting time for us! :) <3
Before we get to last week's winner, I have to redraw the winner to A Day for Daisies from week before. Winner did not make contact and it's been more than seven days. Don't you just hate that there's no easy way to find out if you've won a challenge? I, for one, cannot keep up with the challenges I play along with. If it weren't for my teammates notifying me, I'd never find out! lol
So with that said, here's another draw for Challenge No. 105 by Random.org from 189 entries:

Thank you for joining my Team and me this week, especially after last week's fiasco with the new linky. It all started with that I didn't necessarily know what I was doing! lol But I think I got it right this time. I'm sorry to those who weren't able to enter their links. I did try to add them myself again where I was able to. So sorry if that didn't work out well for you all! :(
Our fabulous sponsors this week are Bugaboo Stamps and The East Wind! Woot! Woot! Party in the house! :D
