I'm a DU2DS virgin ... ahem ... enough said please! I had the image that i was gonna use, just needed to find the challenge lol! I seem to be obsessed with only making cards that fit challenges at the minute and those that i just make are being held back just in case they fit a challenge later in the week .... what a saddo! This is another one of my makes for the old man's birthday next month ... bless him! He's getting on now, at 42!

My Very First Sandra Dry .....

Did i mention i won last weeks Sketch Saturday lol! Well, i claimed my fab prize this morning and have unzipped my 6 images and have begun to have a little play .... lets just say i'm happy as a pig in muck! I've been drooling over Sandra's images for some time now, but with being on a strict craft diet and saving for my Magnolia Summer Stampclub Collection i've not been able to afford any new craft stuff and have been living off RAK's from my fabulous blog buddies and only buying the essentials.
