Our MMSC18 Weekly Sponsor is.....
This week's sponsor is one of our very own Midnight Madness players. Penny is generously offering up a wonderful set of her digis and a really cool stamp set from “Close to my Heart” Be sure to stop by her BLOG and check out all that she has going on, but here is a little bit about Penny…..
"I'm a mom of three wonderful children; Gillian (9), Matthew (5) and Hannah (1). I'm also a proud Army Wife to the love of my life Bryan!!! I love reading, writing, crocheting and anything papercraft-y!!! I was introduced to scrapbooking in November 2008 at a Close to my Heart gathering. It was alot of fun and I've been making cards and scrapbooks ever since. I've also liked drawing and doodling which started in high school art class, which is how the digital stamps came to be. I saw other digital stamps around the web and thought "how cool is that?" and decided I had to try it for myself. I'm a stay at home mom with alot of time on my hands and this is how I keep myself sane :) "

Look at all the digis you will get, PLUS you get to pick four FREE digis of your choice from her complete line. To view her line, click HERE .....PLUS, you get the awesome stamp set below!!
