Challenge #82 Ice Ice Baby - is extended!

We had an unforseen problem with our picture linky for this challenge .... unfortunately the linky account was closed, so we lost our 30+ entries. We don't think it's fair to close the challenge without all the entries being seen, so we are extending this challenge for one more week.... so this challenge will run alongside #83.

Winners for the extended challenge #82 will be posted next week! So there is plenty of time for you to re-link your entry, or to create an entry for the challenge! Here are the details again, with a new linky!

If you are re-linking your entry again, please add an asterisk "*" next to your name so that we know it is a re-link (there is no need for you to create a new post for previously entered creations). Yes, I know this is essentially 'backlinking', but we are asking you to re-link your creation that you have previously entered in the challenge, so that is okay.  

This week is a our challenge for you is:

ICE ICE BABY 

Ice in the winter, Ice in our summer drinks.... show us your winter or summer creations!

We are happy to welcome back this week's sponsor MICHELLE PERKETT STUDIOS! Michelle so skilfully presents a huge collection of mermaids, fairies, people, and with various images in between!  They will delight you, so we hope you avail yourself of her designs!

Our random prize winner will receive their choice of one of the gorgeous images showcased by our design team in this challenge post!  We are thrilled to have MPS sponsoring our challenges... because the images are so beautiful... and because they will always bring a smile to your face!

Due to unforeseen circumstances (and bad planning on my part) the Design Team creations are not included here at the regular time of posting the challenge.  But stay tuned... beautiful  creations will appear for your inspiration!

"My name is Melissa Jenkins and I have been an artist as long as I can remember.... I am inspired by everything around me.  Art is an uplifting thing for me, ad I love designing cute tidbits of art that make people smile. I draw all of my little creations by hand.  A lot of love goes into my art!  Each of my designs is sketched in pencil, inked with a black Micron pen, then scanned in and lightly cleaned up so it will look crisp when you print it.  I love inspiring crafters.  I am not very talented at making cards myself, so I LOVE seeing all of the beautiful things that you make with my digital stamps.  I couldn't ask for  a better blessing!"

One randomly drawn winner will receive their choice of four (4) uncoloured digital images from MelJen's Designs ...
