EDITED TO ADD: NEW DT MEMBERS ANNOUNCEMENT

Sorry for the delay in posting the new DT members but I had a really hard time trying to narrow them down because the standard was so high.

My name is Angela and I own Sew Many Cards. I have a husband, an almost 10 year old daughter, a two year old son, and a dog/puppy: Hershey. The images of Sew Many Cards came from a dream that my husband had of a group of animals that were "SEWN Together" with patches and stitching, hence the name, which he also came up with. You will find that every image in the Sew Many Cards collection has patches and stitching, even the ones that are not animals. I love to draw and almost every image is either an inspiration from my family or a request from my great customers and design team, so please ask if you need something specific or would like to request something be made. You can contact me atangela@sewmanycards.com

The lucky winner of our challenge will get to choose five images from the store as their prize.

Sew Many Cards kindly offered our DT some digi images to play with for our cards for this challenge. Here's what we came up with:
