About Me

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/

12 months of Christmas cards linkup 105 - anything Christmas with optional twist

 12 Months of Christmas cards linkup 105 midway post - anything Christmas with optional twist fancy folds or shaped cards.
https://12monthsofchristmaslinkup.blogspot.com/

Due to my bad eyes and bad hands I was unable to make a fancy folds or shaped card so I have made an anything goes Christmas card.

I have used Lisa's paper made for this month's challenge.
We are 3 sentiment from Happy Christmas sentiment set
Christmas buttons from Digital Scrapbooking Studio Christmas Buttons by Butterfly Design

I hope you will go over and see the lovely work by the design team at the midway post on Monday and at the beginning of the challenge here
Everyone who adds 2 or more cards will receive this month's free paper


I am posting this two days early so I can add it to the sketch challenge.

I followed the October sketch challenge at 52 Christmas card throwdown
(I rotated the sketch and used circles instead of squares)

I would like to add my card to the following:
