If you are our lucky winner of this challenge, you will receive 2 digital stamps of your choice from All Dressed Up's online store.  Click HERE for the link to the store - it is really worth a visit.  They sell a large selection of gorgeous digital stamps.  For more inspiration, take a look at their Blog and Facebook group page.
