    Big congratulations on your new family member, and I bet all of you are just over the moon with happiness. Best wishes to all. And I love all the 'paint chips' on this cute DIY card. What a clever way to show off this cute digi, and especially loved the extra detail of the 'rollup wallpaper' and the embossing on the green & gold in the corner. TFS &Hugs.

    I've got a few of these images myself and they do make me smile! I love this card and the way you've done the streaks of paint and bits of paper for the background is genius! Lovely colouring too. Thank you so much for entering the Crafty Calendar (Anything Goes) Challenge this month, lots of luck to you. Hugs Sue Pxxx DT
