Happy New Year

Well it's 10:48pm and 2007 is nearly over. I have to say it's been a fab, if demanding, year on lots of levels.

Today has been spent working on a huge Christmas jigsaw, watching tv and making a few cards. I have always loved Angi-b stamps and decided to indulge with some advance Christmas money. Really sad to see they are no longer producing stamps, but they still have some lovely ones available at http://www.angi-b-co.com/ . The stamps I have are quite small so I have used a layout I found on http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ The actual card has a white border, but my scanner cuts it off!

Here's to 2008!

After all the wonderful excesses of Christmas I thought it would be nice to make some spring cards. Here are two made with my new stampendous ‘flower fluffles’ stamp - unfortunately the glittered vellum doesn't show very well. My cat Heidi loves to sleep in a terracotta flower tub by our front door, so I just had to have this stamp. I will upload a photo of Heidi when I can find my phone to pc lead.

I have been trying to get my head around a Christmas card for a RR. In the end I made two cards and this is the one I didn't send. The other is quiet different so I'm not giving away too many clues here. This card uses my favorite PaperArtsy Christmas background (www.paperarsty.co.uk)

As a starter I have been playing around with a basic card layout.
