Anything Goes-Amy

Good Morning Bloggers! 

It's Amy and it's time for my DT Project for this month's challenge:

I chose #462 Umbrella-Whimsy 2 Digital Stamp by The Stamping Boutique.

Being that Valentine's Day is almost here I thought I would use this fun image 

on a card for such that occasion.

You can see more details about my project at my blog all things beautiful

We would love to have you take on the challenge and show us your crafty creation! 

The challenge runs until to the end of January so hurry, hurry!
