Meljen's Designs - Easter Inspired

It's Thursday so that means we have a new digital release and challenge for you from Meljen's Designs. The challenge this week is "Easter Inspired". If you would like to play along with us, you can link up your entry, view the challenge rules, and see the DT samples on the Meljen's Designs blog.



For my project today, I used one of the new digis, Peter Bunny. I love this sweet little bunny! Check out the pinwheel in the corner. I have my DH to thank for that. He thinks I use to many buttons so I was trying to do something a little different. What do you think?

Here is a peek at the entire new release available at Whimsy Stamps starting today.

If you haven't already entered my blog candy drawing for 4 Meljen's Designs digital stamps of your choice, you may want to check it out HERE. You also have a few more days to enter the drawing for 5 digital stamps of your choice from Whimsy Stamps and a chance to be a guest designer for the month of April HERE.
