I'm here to tell you about a fun new challenge at Shelly's Images.  Our theme this week is, "Show Us What You Got!" and we know its one of your favorites, so there should be lots of entries!  In case you aren't familiar with this challenge, theme, that's our way of saying, "Anything Goes!" Whooo Hoo! Now you KNOW you have to play along, right?!

I'd also like to invite some of my followers to join me one week, during my DT week at Shelly's Images, as a guest!

Now, let's talk about today's featured image, at Shelly's Images.  Today's featured image, is the cute elephant, featured in my card.  This cutie is called Balancing Act, and is available today only, for a special price, in the Shelly's Images Store! Get yours, today, before the sale is over!

My card today features today's featured Image, Balancing Act, from Shelly's Images. He's colored with Promarkers.  My card layout uses the sketch at Sketches By Carly. I used buttons recycled from old clothing, for embellishments.  The inside says, "Have A Balanced Birthday!"
