"Di's Digi Downloads"

Here is a little about Di:

I started my digi site last year in December and now have about 50 images on my site. The inspiration came from my daughter, her cuddly toy Kaboodle and my sons favourite cuddly toy Cookie.MY work is hand drawn then digitally enhanced and converted to download. I don’t have the best graphics tablet and software and my images are very much hand drawn with not so great straight lines but i hope this adds to their character.These digi stamps only cost $2.00 are instantly downloadable, no waiting.

Please take a peek at my site.

So how can you win yourself some of Di's great images . . . well of course enter this weeks challenge which is . . .

"Metal Mania"

Now your touch of metal could be from a charm, paper clip, safety pin, metal embellishment or even your image painted / coloured with metallic paints or pens. Sometimes the theme titles can be a little daunting but hey, there is always an easy way round the theme!

As always the DT have been busy creating and here is their inspiration . . .
