DigiStamps 4 Joy! Challenge #58

Good afternoon everyone!

I am so sorry I have been absent for just over a week. I have had this nasty bug which has kept me bed bound for over a week and just felt awful! I'm on the mend now and haven't been able to manage any crafting. I've missed it so much!

I've missed you all and I hope you are all well? When I feel better in myself and a bit more human I will catch up on your blogs and see your beautiful work you've created. I apologise for the lack of comments too.

Over to the challenge at DigiStamps 4 Joy Blog, the theme is "Oh how time flies!" You can interpret the theme title how you like as long as it fits the title.

The prize's for this challenge are:

Randomly drawn winner: 3 Images of their choice from the store.

2 Runners up: 1 Image each

Now if you use a DigiStamps 4 Joy image on your entry you can win the big prize of $10 of images from the store and could also be our Guest Designer!!

Front view of card:



This card was made over a week ago for the challenge. The Digi Stamp I used for my card is called "Grandfather Clock" and you can buy it here:  Grandfather Clock Digi Stamp.   I used Retirement to interpret the theme.

So why not hop on over to the blog and enter the challenge and see the other DT's stunning and amazing creations for this challenge. I look forward to seeing your work!

    Morning Sharon, I hope you are on the mend now, these bugs are nasty little things. We have all missed you.
    Your card is beautiful, and 'tempus fugit' ie time flies is definitely a true saying, I retired from work 18 months ago, and it seems like only yesterday, it is frightening how fast it has gone ha ha.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx
