Hello Everyone!  This time at  Crafting when we can challenges  our wonderful sponsor is: And our challenge is to CASE a card from one of the wonderful DT creations!  So here's what I created with the wonderful image that I received from The stamping Boutique called PJL: To make this card I used Label 19 and Label 14 from Spellbinders.  I used cardstock from DCWV and some paper from me & my big idea - a value pack.  I edged around the sentiment and the digi with my distress ink vintage photo.  I also used some brown ribbon from my stash as well as some buttons purchased in a pack at Walmart (just love those big pack of buttons).   The sentiment is from TLC - I just looove the sentiment that you can get there.  I'm starting to have quite a collection from purchasing the collections ;)  And it's fun getting little goodies by e-mail every day! ;))) Here's a closer look at the great digi image that I colored with copics.  I also added some gold s
