So we want to see

This week we are being sponsored by the fab
Digi Stamp Boutique 
and the prize is 6 individual digi's 
How cool is that :)

So for my card I have used one of the brilliant LOTV toppers
 they are so handy and quick to use especially 
as I haven't had the time to color much this week :(
I know the picture is crap I'm sorry about that
 I have looked everywhere for my camera charger 
and can't find it anywhere so am using my phone
 but I find it really isn't great for this kind of thing :(
