The DT were allowed to choose which company they would like to feature in their Dt projects, so because Cedar Chest Designs was completely new to me I chose one  of their images - Framed Lighthouse.

My new things are the new image from a new (to me) designer and the anchor and rubber ring were cut out on my new silhouette machine. 

The cord is from my stash and took me ages to find because I hadn't put it in the right place last time I used it!
