Ornament Keepsakes

Hi all,

With a great promotion for November, I just had to give in to buying the Ornament Keepsakes Bundle!  I love the ornament on the front cover of the Autumn/Winter Catalogue and just knew I had to make one.  Recently cranked up the Big Shot (alot) and reproduced the ornament, which I'm really pleased with.  The picture doesn't do it justice, but believe me, there's lots of Dazzling Diamonds on there!

No Peeking

Hi all,

Well, it's certainly feeling more like winter now the clocks have gone back and the weather has done nothing but rain recently!  I couldn't resist, and HAD to buy No Peeking stamp set which I fell in love with ever since I first set eyes on the new Annual Catalogue :)

With Christmas just around the corner, I decided to make my nephew his Christmas card with this cute stamp set, hopefully, he'll love it as much as I do!  For his card, I used Real Red and Wild Wasabi colours for him, below is another one made using Cherry Cobbler and the new In Color: Gumball Green.
