How's that for some fantastic images and artwork?  Featured in the designer's work are new stamps from a brand new designer, Chelsea Le; old and new images by Rick St. Dennis; other new images and some older, favorites!!  Yay!!!  I just love this time of year!!

As always, my words will be few.....please join us for this month's I Brake For Challeges Challenge!!!  We are using all things Fall as our inspiration.  Tell all your friends and have them join along!  We don't require the use of IBFS images, but it would be just wonderful if you did!!  We do award a prize for one lucky winner, BUT you have to play along to be considered!

Our only requirement is that you advertise the challenge!  That means, you must link your blog post back here so that everyone can read all about it!
I did mention a prize....right?  Last month, we used digi images as our inspiration.  The winner of that challenge and some cool $ in the IBFS digi store is:  Shell!  What a cute image she used!  You have two weeks, Shell,  to claim your prize at ibrakeforstamps@yahoo.com.

Are you set to play along?
