Week 444 - Thank You

Morning Peeps, Brenda here and this week I thought it would be a good idea to get ahead of ourselves and prepare some cards ready for sending after the Christmas festivities, so my them is.............

********Thank You********

We welcome one of our regular sponsors this week with a £10 store voucher.....................

DigiStamp Boutique offers a wide range of digi images designed by Sally-Ann Hancock. My work means the world to me - it allows my passion to draw and create, to fit with my family life too - often the inspiration for my designs. Hope you enjoy as much as I enjoy creating.


And a second prize from Tattered Lace, home to a range of beautifully delicate and detailed craft products, including the successful Tattered Lace Dies and Embossing Folders, designed by Stephanie Weightman.

Lorraine joins us again this week as out Guest designer and has made a beautiful card using Hydrangea from our sponsor.
