Lets Stump Cheryl ...week # 22

I cant take credit for this beautiful card nor can I say who made it because I dont know, all the design team cards are scrambled around each others blogs.

From the collage above can you pick out my card :)

This week The Sassy Cheryl Design Team are going to try to stump Sassy Cheryl.

The Sassy gals have been working behind the scenes to stump the boss. Sassy Cheryl claims that she can tell which design team member made a particular card by just looking at it. So, we are putting Sassy Cheryl to the test. Want to play along? It's easy...

1, just enter our challenge for this week.

2, Use a Sassy Cheryl image and the challenge criteria "Thinking of You ".

3, Link up your post at our challenge page using Mr. Linky.

Then take a look at Sassy Cheryl's guess... is she right? Or is she wrong? Just tell us what you think by leaving a comment on the challenge page... then you'll get an extra entry in our random draw this week if you've guessed right.

To recap: participate in the challenge and get one entry... participate and guess correctly, get another entry. The winner will receive a $10 Gift Certificate to Sassy Cheryl's shop!
