Digital Tuesday Challenge 34 DT Card

Good evening everyone, hope you are all well. I am a bit late this week with my DT card for Digital Tuesday but better late than never I suppose. This weeks challenge is set by the lovely Lora who wants you to make a Thank You card. I am really happy with how this card has turned out, I had a picture in my head of how I wanted it and it has basically come out just like it, it is a very simple card for me as I have held back on the embellishments but it made a refreshing change and I must let myself make more cards like this. Hope you can join in the fun and take a peek at all the other fantastic DT creations.

Good morning and Happy Friday, we are at the end of another week and Christmas is coming along fast now, I am hoping to finish off most of my Christmas shopping this next week and if I do I think it will be the first year ever that I am so organised. Anyway today is another new challenge on Crafty Catz and there is also a DT call. We are looking for a new member to join our happy little team and to be in with a chance you need to enter this weeks and next weeks challenge, so hop over to the blog for more details if you are interested. This weeks challenge is to make a card to 'celebrate' something and it must include the word 'celebrate' on the front, if you see what I mean. I have made a new baby card for my friend who has just had a baby girl, she is called Phoebe Grace and is gorgeous so I hope she likes my card.
