When this challenge blog was started up there were very few other challenge blogs around....now there are hundreds, covering every style and stamp range.

There is an additional prize up for THREE participants that include the added THREE option. If you head over to my blog (Caz), and leave me a link to your card I will be offering THREE different rubber stamps, so be sure to head on over to my personal blog if you have made a card for a THREE year old, once you have left your link here....and add it to my blog.
