Delicious doodles DT call!!

Well I have taken a step back from one DT team and seem to have lost another as it has vanished into the ethernet with no warning so I thought I might try out for this DT as I just adore using the images this fabulous designer creates, they are so easy to work with.  

Here are a few projects I have created using Delicious doodle images in the past so if you have already seen them enjoy a second look and if you have not then enjoy your first one!!

I Hope you like all they cards and I will see you all in blog land soon
