Lollipop Crafts Spotlight

It's time to spotlight our wonderful sponsor this week at Lollipop Crafts! 

 

Here's a little bit about Di's Digi Downloads:

 

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I know work as a medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing.  I started cardmaking about 4 years 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 it's just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful work of art.  Long may it continue!

 

I have followed the sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday for my card and used papers/ribbon/brads from my stash! Don't forget our challenge #48, it's an easy one, all you have to do is use "eyelets or brads" like I did in corners of my card.  Link up your projects here, there is a great prize up for grabs:  

5 digi images OR 3 clear stamp images.

 

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

To the world.....

With Mother's Day around the corner I have been inspired to make some projects for all the special moms in my live.  I grabbed this wonderful sentiment from the "Mother's Love set" over at Shannon's Sentiments and framed it using my Nesties.  The sketch is from Sweet Sketch Wednesday and that fabby flower is made using a tutorial I found here.  Come over and join us on CDAC as Shannon's Sentiments is sponsoring the "embellishment challenge" and there is a great prize up for grabs!  Join us Saturday for our new challenge with inspiration from our new DT ladies!
