July WINNER, new challenge, and August prize from DOLCE SCRAPBOOK!

It's Monday AGAIN, and can you believe it's the beginning of AUGUST?! Holy wowza, where is this year going? Summer is half over for a lot of people, and we hope you're all enjoying it, and making the most of it with family and friends (or YOU time, if that's what you're missing!).

Before we challenge you to, well, take our next CHALLENGE (hee hee!), let's just take a look at last month's prize, shall we? Some of my favorite fun things for paper crafting...

Congrats goes out to....

JONI!

She gave us this funky piece for one of my fave color
challenges to date (teal, brown, cream and a POP of red):

LOVE the way she did the title work, and that torn paper is just drool-worthy! Joni, thanks so much for playing along, and congrats! Please email me, Leah the Orange, at spazzicasi@yahoo.ca with your mailing address and I'll post these goodies out for you as soon as possible.

With August upon us, we have another brand new prize pack to share. THIS TIME, I'm the lucky one with the sponsor, and I'm very excited to tell you about her...

Please welcome... DOLCE SCRAPBOOK!

Guest Dollie, TINA!
WELCOME, girlie! We are positively THRILLED to have you in the Dollhouse!

and she even made a card, because she is just too ambitious for her own good!

(Tina, when I said OLIVE GREEN, I didn't mean it quite that literally!) :D

A little something extra-sweet from our Dana-Dollie - GORGEOUS!


A positively lovely page from Chiqui-Dollie, who knew EXACTLY what she wanted
to do with this combo (as you can tell, our Dolls ROCKED these colors!):

And from your hostess, Leah the Orange - I seem to
be pulling out a lot of these older pics...
