Time for a Catch Up!

I was looking through my photos of cards I have made today and I was surprised at how many DT cards I have made over the last new months that I haven't got around to blogging! Things are so hectic at the moment, I find it really hard to find the time to sit down and share my cards, so I have written myself a list (it is a long list!) and I am going to try to catch up a bit! :)

So today I am starting with this card:

This was a DT card I made for a challenge over at Sweet Stampin',  using a a fun digi from Bugaboo Stamps, coloured with ProMarkers then mounted on pale blue and teal cardstock. The sentiment is from LOTV and the papers are Craft Creations. I have used my current favourite die, the corner bow die from Memory Box (I was very proud of myself today as I managed to make 3 cards without using this die! It seems to be on every card I make at the moment!). Pearls from my stash :)

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

I Love ProMarkers #146 - Anything Goes
