Di's BIO:  {I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like-minded people.  I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.

This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue! }

BUT WAIT, THAT'S NOT ALL....Our very sweet DT Member  (and challenge hostess), Christine Craig  is also generously giving away a fabulous Prize to a third lucky entrant;

I'm back - from UK cold  torrential downpours to Germany heavy snow and -16 temperature!!

My first job needs to shop - my fridge is empty - then I shall settle do and catch up making cards and commenting.  My baby computer (a Netbook)  died and I had to take it to the Computer Dr. - I got it back as I traveled back home so  not being anything to do - I felt lost!!!

I used the Core'dinations Whitewash, embossed with the Cuttlebug embossing folder Textile and sanded the white to show the colour through. I used the Simon Says Stamp HeartRainfall, added the Dreamweaver Embossing paste - I inked them with the Hero Arts  Soft Pink - because I was in a hurry I heat dried them which left the tiny hears cracked - I rather liked the cracked look, probable not here but will certainly try it again on other things.

I shall now hope to see you all soon whilst I catch up !!!
