Crafting For All Seasons DT Call

If you have not already seen it there is a DT call going on at Crafting For All Seasons which is exciting news.... I'd love to be part of this team!!!  Now to enter this DT call you need to showcase 3 of your cards and choosing isn't easy, but here we go....

Now I do have a mismatch of styles (I've tried to pick a selection) and you probably won't catch many paper roses on my cards... but that is what I love about blogging and card making.... Just hope they pick me lol!! Good luck to those entering
