Just To Say

Morning.... I have another card made using the new James And Jenny Art Pad that had it's début on Create and Craft earlier this week.. Remember you can get these from LOTV on Monday 24th February from Midday!!

This little guy is already available as a stamp but if you want something a bit quicker or you are just not into your colouring these make perfect quick cards... Which helps when you have zero mojo!!
I just love how this one is coloured!

The sentiment is from the Scroll Sentiments set and I simply stamped it onto a tab die from Die-Namics.  Some trademark stitching and some distress stickles and it was put together in just a few minutes

Hope you have a great day.... I just want to get through tomorrow in one piece and then it's weekend

Morning ... I had a very productive card making evening last night.. finally feel like I am making some headway with orders and my own Christmas cards.
