Image Folder

Gosh it has been ages since I last blogged, time just seems to run away from you.
I haven't been doing a whole lot of crafting, but I recently made this folder for a friend to send her some stamped images in. I love these Sugar Nellie stamps so much.

New Whiff Of Joy Stamps

Ooooh how exciting, Katharina has announced that there will be a new set of medieval stamps over on Whiff of Joy which will be released on February 14th. They will feature the Charlotte & Charlie characters, designed by Alison Acton, and there is a seek preview above.
I can't wait to see the whole collection, roll on Saturday.

Can't believe how long it's been since I last posted, I was really poorly over the festive period and am just starting to get back on my feet. Didn't manage to get even remotely as much crafting done as I wanted to but here is a birthday card i made for DD1
and here are a selection of the Christmas cards that I did manage all quite simple but I was just pleased I managed to do them

I won some Sugar

Just popped over to the Sugar Nellie blog and was amazed to see I had been chosen to receive some candy.
