Challenge 78 - Anything Goes/For a Girl - 25 January

 Hello and welcome back to the challenge blog!

A big thank you to everyone who took part in our last challenge - we really appreciate you joining in.

The winners from our last challenge were published here on 10 January so check back to see if you were a winner or in the top 3!

Before we talk about today's new challenge, please join me in welcoming Ilonka to the Design Team!

All our challenges are now 'anything goes' with an optional theme for you to follow.  Our Design Team will use the optional theme but you can choose whether to or not.

Our optional theme chosen by Deanne is:

ANYTHING GOES/FOR A GIRL

And here is some inspiration from our Design Team:

Annie using Guard of Suits

Deanne using Sparkle

Gina using Wicked Elphaba and Glinda

Helen using Sparkle

Ilonka using Be My Valentine

Kel using Candy Girl

Maria using Cup of Cocoa

Samantha using Beauty Chibi

Great cards - thank you ladies!

Please link up your cards below remembering to link to your post not your whole blog.

Our rules are in the sidebar - please make sure you follow them so you are eligible for our winner's prize of three digi stamps of your choice.  Our challenges end at 12 noon GMT on the 24th of each month and as I mentioned above, the results will be published on the 10th of the month.
