Granmargarets cards-n-stuff

Welcome to my blog

I started this blog in April 2012 so I could join Challenges. I am now on some design teams. I hope you like my cards. I started stamping in 1995 but my cards are still mostly cute.

Thank you to those who have joined as followers and to those who comment.

Unfortunately because of spammers I have had to put moderation on the comments. I will approve them as soon as possible, this also means I don't miss any.

I don't always get a chance to reply to all comments but I read them all when I approve them and I really appreciate you taking the time to give your comment.

The lovely banner was made especially for me by Amanda at Faery Ink Art & Design when I won her first blog challenge. family:";">http://faeryink.com/product/granmargaret-fairy-digital-stamp/

2025 - Now due to my sore hands and bad eyes I make mostly digital cards and scrapbook pages.

My Time to Craft Christmas 117 - Easel card

My Time to Craft Christmas 117 - Easel card
https://mytimetocraftchristmas.blogspot.com/

Unfortunately because of my very sore hands and bad eyes I can no longer make handmade cards.

I was going to miss adding a card for this challenge but

I have found the photo of a simple Christmas easel card I made in December 2016.

Paper from Julia Spiri Green canvas paper set
Julia Spiri digi stamp Winter Elf coloured with markers and glitter pens
Tag and holly leaves with berries from Dragons Lair
Added rhinestones and layered all onto red card.

As this is an old card which I used in 2016 I won't add it to any challenges.
