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.

Christmas card club

It was my turn to pick the theme for the Christmas card club this week.    I picked it weeks ago - Non traditional Christmas colours.
This is our last challenge for the year so I would like to wish everyone a very happy Christmas.

I have used Vintage Blue Santa in oval from Create with TLC, sentiment from Create with TLC, paper from Daydream Designs Stars that Shine digi paper, ribbon and stars from Scrap Graphics.
