Our theme for this week is

Use a Charm

so we're looking for all your charming projects :D

We are sponsored this time by
Delicious Doodles is a young company with myself, Teri, as the Sole Trader/Designer.

I have doodled and sketched all of my life. I started making greetings cards when my last child was born, and used my doodles on them as I couldn’t find what I wanted in the usual craft places. I only started selling my images in the Autumn of 2009.

I design and hand/mouse-draw all of the images that are sold in the Delicious Doodles Shop. Some are cutsie animals, some are sketched flowers, there are a few men's images, fairies and also some 'darker' images featuring vampires, skulls and Gothic stuff, something for everyone!

Why not pop over and take a look.

The prize that is being offered to our lucky winner is these four digis:

 


We were joined by Guest Designer Teri, the owner of Delicious Doodles, and she made this fabulous card:
She made the charm herself, very talented lady!

and we were also joined by another Guest Designer this week - 
and we would like to say 'thanks' to Faye, for making this beautiful card.


And here's what our Team 4 made using the beautiful sponsor's images!


















We're looking forward to seeing all your charming creations, so get them in! :) 
Love from the Crafty Friends DT ladies xxx
