Hello everyone! And welcome to Challenge 6 at Mo's Digital Pencil. Last week we told you that Design Team member, Caryn, is our challenge hostess this month. We thought you might like to know a bit more about Caryn and her passion for this hobby we all love.
Hi, I am Caryn and I'm the challenge hostess for the month of November. I am a busy mum of 5 (4 girls and a boy) ranging from the age of 10 down to 2. I am originally from Glasgow but moved down to the Wirral after university nearly 15 years ago. My love of card-making began 5 years ago just after I had my fourth baby, Sophie. She was born with a condition called Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia and after major surgery at 2 days old she spent 3 weeks fighting for her life at Alder Hey hospital in Liverpool. I started making cards to sell in aid of the hospital and Ronald MacDonald house who helped us so much when she was there. She is a fighting-fit 5 year old now and hasn't looked back since those first few scary weeks.
My style of card-making changes with the weather - sometimes it's very CAS others it's busy and OTT! I have found a new lease of life with digi-stamps in the last couple of months and haven't actually bought any "real" ones for weeks! I started my blog, Glitter Me Silly - yes, I LOVE sparkles - just over a year ago and have become totally immersed in the world of blogging. I have found so much inspiration in that year from visiting the amazing blogs out there and everyday come across a new one to add to my ever-growing blog-roll!
Well, I really hope you enjoy the challenges I have set for this month and can't wait to see what fabulous creations you all come up with. Let the glitter run free and always remember - there's no such thing as too much bling!!!!
Hugs,
Caryn xxx
Here's this week's fun sketch challenge that Caryn created for us.

So hop on the bandwagon and play along with us this week using Caryn's sketch challenge. It's easy.. just check our challenge guidelines listed to the right and jump in. You just might be the lucky winner of an image from Mo's Digital Pencil.
This week the winner will have the opportunity to "name your stamp". The winner will give Mo a one-line description and "name" an image for Mo to draw... how great is that?
