Y is for Your Favourite Punch/Die

Hello everyone, it's Helen here with a brand new challenge for you, but before I get on to that, I have some sad news...our lovely DT member Kelly is leaving us. On behalf of the other DT girls, I'd like to say a BIG thank you to Kelly for all of her fabulous cards and projects - we've loved having you on our happy little team, and wish you all the best...we'll no doubt see you around in blogland!

Ok, so we're nearly at the end of another run through the alphabet, and have reached the letter Y...a bit of a  tricky one...the theme we have picked is:

'Y is for Your Favourite Punch and/or Die'

We have two amazing sponsors for this challenge:



"Stamp Fairy officially launched on November 5th 2010. Gerda Burghardt, artist and owner, creates cute and whimsical digital images for the young and old, inspired by her life, love and 4 cute cats. You will find adorable teddies bears, young boys and girls, fuzzy little bunnies and whimsical critters. Stamp Fairy has new releases along with a free image every Friday and Guest Designers each month. Please visit the store and browse StampFairy’s wonderful images.
