The Paper Shelter Challenge #646 - Thank You

Good morning and welcome to my DT post for the new challenge from The Paper Shelter. This week our challenge is Thank You, which is perfect timing for me as we get closer to the end of the school year and I need lots of thank you cards to hand out to various staff members and my team!

This card is for my teaching assistant Becca, who is a huge fan of the book Fourth Wing. I've not read it as yet (it is on my summer to-be-read list), but I know there's dragons in it! I know this digi stamp, Queen of Dragons, was probably designed with Daenerys from Game of Thrones in mind, but I thought it would probably work for Becca as well.

The Paper Shelter Challenge #644 - Cut It Out

Good morning everyone and welcome to this week's DT post for the new challenge from The Paper Shelter. This week our twist for the Anything Goes challenge is to Cut It Out. By that we mean for you to either use a die cut on your card or project or fussy cut an image.

For my card, I ended up using both die cuts and fussy cutting my images, which I often do anyway as I love the way it looks when it's cut out.
