March 20th Reveal

Welcome back for our D2D monthly reveal!! Glad you could join us!

Faith has once again amazed us with her images.  You really need to check them out!! Again, we will be hopping from blog to blog to see what all of our great designers have done using the new images.

You should have come here from Kathy's blog

If not ~ please start back at the beginning so you don't miss anything.


1. Blog hop starts on designed2delight.com/blog

Here are my selections:

I went with "Old Rugged Cross" as one of my images.  I tried to keep the card simple in both colors and embellishments as to not 'take away' the symbolization of the cross. I know spring usually calls for bright cheery colors, but for some reason, the earth tones were 'calling' me if you will when I designed this card. 

For my second image, I used "Drenched".  Isn't she just adorable!!!  Kind of reminds me of my oldest granddaughter. I could so see her posing for a picture like this : ) Now I used the bright, cheery colors on this one as I just wanted to make it 'scream' spring! I love the butterfly punch that I used on here.  It is actually a 3 layer punch by EK Success.  Each layer only punches out a certain part of the butterfly, in order for you to create your own color pattern. 

Well, enough about me - let's get on over to the other Michelle on our team and she what she has for us, shall we !!

At the end of the hop, make your way back to the D2D blog and leave a comment telling Faith what types of images you would like to see for future summer releases . She will select 2 random winners, and give them each $5 to the store. Winners will be announced on Friday. ALSO, I'll be giving away a free image for a winner from my blog as will each team member. There will also be a 20% discount on the new images for the next three days.

Good Luck!!
Michelle
