As with last week’s card, I started this one with the background paper. Partly this is because I’m a bit tired of staring at stamp sets which don’t change (though I have a new festive set arriving shortly which may help with the general disinclination malaise). In the end, though, I didn’t do any stamping… Continue reading The Gold Stag

I thought my list was complete,… Continue reading Last Minute Christmas Cards

But in falling… Continue reading The Dew Drop Dash Background
