I Made it onto THE STAMPING BOUTIQUE DT!

As promised, I'm back again with my 2nd post of the day, and some exciting news. A while back, during the summer hols I applied to a DT call at THE STAMPING BOUTIQUE. I didn't expect to hear anything, there were over 30 applicants, so was thrilled when I discovered I had been chosen as one of the lucky ones to join Tracey and the girls!

I love the images Tracey creates and am in my element choosing whichever ones I want to create with! Here's a card I made using the fabulous Nesting Doll #2


Isn't she adorable! I used some freebie papers from a magazine, brown and cream card for matting & layering, some card candy dots and some die cut snowflakes (quickutz.) I die-cut the layers behind the doll with my labels nesties, embossed the cream layer with a cuttlebug snowflakes folder and rubbed over it with Tim Holtz distress ink.




If you want to see more of Tracey's fab designs then head on over to The Stamping Boutique Shop.

I am going to enter my card into the following challenges:
Before I go, I would like to send a big smile and warm welcome to my latest follwers: Melissa, Rebekah, Sandy, Rene, and Diane. I am thrilled you decided to join me! Please pop over to visit their wonderful blogs and see their fab work.   

Thanks for popping in this evening, and I hope to see you again soon!
