For those of you that play along with us this month, we have some lovely prizes up for grabs. In no particular order, they are:

Stampin'Up - WB Trio of Stamps, So Many Sayings (preloved), donated by Angela (UK/EU only)

Prize 2

Prize 3

The prize winners will be picked randomly from among those entrants who have followed all the rules, which are in the sidebar if you need a refresher. If you have a preference as to which prize you'd like (or if there are any you definitely don't want) please leave a comment below letting me know, and I will do my best to keep those preferences in mind when drawing winners.

First, we still have Prudence of Penguin Parade on Instagram joining us as a Guest Designer this month! Prudence was the winner of the June challenge. Here is the gorgeous card she made

We also have one new member joining the Reminder Team this month! Please give her a warm welcome:
