Hello everyone, today our wonderful Guest Designer is Dina from Digi Doodle Studios

I love to design, illustrate, and create handmade cards. I am a full-time licensed artist and designer.
I began designing stamps and decorative papers, over 25 yrs ago through my love, and addiction, to paper crafting. Today I continue to design and illustrate stamps and decorative paper for my own company, Digi Doodle Studios. I feel truly blessed to be able to work on my passion everyday among a community of wonderfully talented people.

My project title is "You are the BRRRRRR-Y Best" I created a Wintery Scene with a Shadow Box Card design using Digi Doodle Studios "Be Sparkley and Cotton Tail" Digi Stamps and Digi Doodle Studios "Winter Plaids N' Patterns" Digi Paper Pack

Thank you so much to Dina for sharing her beautiful creation. Please do check out Dina's blog.
