Little bit of love x

Posted by Lynda on 08:00 in Digi Choosday,

Hi all.

I just spent the last week in Spain, I had a fantastic time even though I'm scared of flying and heights :-)

This was the view from my bedroom window, I slept like a baby all week and woke up to the sound of the sea..... just perfect.

I decided to see the pretty Winston collection, it's available CD or as a digital collection. The digi stamp I used is called Winston Bear Heartfelt and he can be bought separately here.

This is the card I made xx

The background papers, digi stamp and bow are all from this collection. But that's only the tip of the iceburg, this collection is jam packed with goodies.

I used the fantastic Work and Play collection for this weeks project, I love it because as those who know me I'm a massive animal lover, with cats, dogs and chickens and so much more, it's a must have collection.

Here's a sneaky peak of what you get if you purchase it......

I used the digi called Breaktime to make this card, the papers are also from this collection.
