Challenge #170 - Create Your Own Background

Good morning everybody

I hope you had fun with the challenge last week, and thank you so much for some fabulous entries.  It is really inspiring looking at all the wonderful creations.

You may have noticed that our lovely blog owner Shelley has been missing for a couple of weeks.  Very sadly she has had a close family bereavement which has taken her out of action for a while, but I know she will be back as soon as it is possible.    Please join me in wishing her well.

Our challenge to you all  this week is to

CREATE YOUR OWN BACKGROUND

So, no designer papers at all, but it can be inks, stamps, created digitally, or whatever, as long as we do not see backgrounds from paper pads creeping in!


Today we are delighted to introduce two new sponsors.



The winner will get to choose FOUR images (pre-colored images do not apply) of their choice from Melissa's store :
