In order to earn image #3, they will have to participate in a second challenge. And then a third challenge to claim image #4, the final image. There will be a winner selected from each of these three challenges. There will then be a final challenge for the GRAND prize. This challenge will close July 2nd. If you were not able to get your free image on Sunday, all the Sassy in the City images will be available to purchase from Sassy Studio Desisgns soon!
Our Challenge Theme for this one is No Nonsense - Make a CAS card (clean and simple)!  Here is my card using "Sassy in the City, Miranda":(I NEVER make simple cards, so I hope this one is ok as it is very "simple" for me!)
