OSAAT DT CARD - CHALLENGE NO 196 - USE A DIGI

Good morning everyone out there - I am here (honest) although I haven't been blogging apart from my DT duties.  We have both been busy after our water leak, it took a fortnight to fix, four tradespeople, three days without heating or hot water, the kitchen larder/cupboard stuff all over the dining room and the bathroom cupboard stuff all over the bedroom - just bloomin' wonderful!   Our house is one of those Victorian detached houses with 9 ft ceilings and is freezing without heating - cor even the carpet claps cold!  

 Anyway we now have it fixed and are back to being warm again, I can sit without my thermals, tee shirt, cardigan, fleecy dressing gown and moon boots on.  Yay!

 Here is the first DT card I have made for this year - the digi is called Train Spotting and can be obtained from Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet HERE.  

 Once again this Challenge is 'Anything Goes' and if you use a digi from Stitchy Bear you can win all the digis we used in Challenge No 194!  You can still win a prize if you use another digi, so please have a go!!

 A quick pic of the inside, I left the centre clear so that I could add the name of the young recipient.
Ingredients
7" x 7" White Card Blank - Anna Marie Designs
Scrappers' Delight digi at Stitchy Bear Outlet
Tonic Circle Layering Dies
Tonic Scalloped Circle Layering Dies
Impression Obsession Fence Die - altered to form track
Memory Box Mini Cloud Dies
Die Versions Alphabet Dies Marker Micro Font
MME Paper Pad - On the Bright Side
Brenda Pinnick Scrapbook Pad 12x12
Green Card from Stash
Copics and Promarkers
Glossy Accents, Bakers Twine, Twinkling H2Os

Well that's enough from me for now, I have waffled and warbled for far too long - about nothing as per usual - I hope you like my little card, I would love you to leave me a comment if you can but I understand it if you are busy.   Oh btw - Blossom seems to have lost her appetite and found that of an elephant.  We have had to put her on a diet but those 'feed me' eyes of hers really get to us.  I suppose it doesn't help that she is no longer getting her exercise (as Donny can tell you) Lol.

Lots of hugs to you all and take care, I really do feel for you if you are having floods etc in your area, I can't imagine how you are coping.

    Hi Sue,
    me wonderful blogging mate.
    I am in awe of this tremendous card. What a fantastic card and design. Fab designing of the larger train in front, and fab cutting out too. I can't think of a young man who wouldn't be soooooooooooooooooooooooo! pleased with receiving this gem of a card.
    Great photography Graham.
    Oh you poor things to be without your heating. I have a vision of you Sue in all that warm clothing.
    Do you know my leak is still not fixed in fact it's worse, they can't seem to find where it's getting in. Now they are talking about taking some bricks out and having a look between the cavity. I am so glad we no longer own our own home, I think I would be tearing my hair out by now at the cost.
    Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
