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/

Di's Digi Stamps challenge - creepy or cute optional Halloween

Di's Digi Stamps - creepy or cute optional Halloween
https://disdigidesignschallenge.blogspot.com/2024/10/creepy-or-cute-optional.html

I was lucky to win the last challenge and received two of Di's cute stamps

I layered Di's precoloured digi stamp Halloween Mouse onto We are 3 papers and added We are 3 sentiment.
You can also buy this as a black and white stamp for you to colour. I used the colour one as I can't see to colour.
