Digi Desserts Fridaze

Welcome to
April is bringing some changes to the Link Up and Challenge days at My Paper Crafting so be sure to read all the
information that follows our Guest Designer's project.
The winner of last week's Link-Up party will be announced
at the bottom along with a link to this week's FREE digi.

I'd like to introduce you to our newest

Tisha Sewell
A little bit about me. I live in North Carolina where I was born and raised. I am a stay at home mom with 7 kids ranging in age from 25-3 and I have 3 grandchildren. I bought a Cricut in September with the intentions of giving it to my daughter for Christmas. I decided to try it out first and I got hooked. I had to go buy her another one for Christmas. In February I created a blog and started entering into different challenges. I come from a large family so I stay pretty busy making cards. I have just started making layouts. My Cricut is my favorite to use for cards and layouts. I have just started using stamps and digi pics. I am really having fun with it.

And here are her fabulous projects using the PCW You Are My Sunshine digi.  
Tisha selected this digi because it is something she tells her 3 year old regularly.


We love the layout - he's such a cutie patootie and 
the card is just so sweet!

I'm sure Tisha would be thrilled if you visited her blog and left a little bloggie love for 
this new blogger and maybe become a follower as well.
Thanks, Tisha, for your great GD projects!!!
