 Hello, how are things?

I am super excited today to share my first card as a new DT member at the challenge blog


Woohoo!

Our challenge is monthly and always ‘Anything Goes’ with an optional twist which today is ‘Craft or Hobby’ so joining in could not be easier.

 

For my project today I have made a birthday card for my sister-in-law whose passion is sewing.


I love this sweet image from DI’S DIGITAL STAMPS so perfect for what I wanted to create, and I added extra buttons and my SIL’s initial for a personal touch.
