I have 2 cards to share with you today so I'll get straight on with my first one.

Today is the start of a new A Gem of a Challenge.

For the next 2 weeks the theme (picked by me) is

Something New

For example, new baby, job, home or you can use some new stash

The prize for the winner is 2 Individual Digi images

(NO SETS, PERSONALISED WATERMARK'S OR SENTIMENT SETS) 

of the winners choice from PINKGEM DESIGNS.....

I have used Pinks Gem's adorable Giraffe  image and a neutral colour scheme so that my card could be suitable to welcome either a new baby boy or girl. I love the Special Delivery sentiment, it's a great way to personalise the card.
