While I finish off my Christmas wrapping, I thought I would share with you a Christmas card that was inspired by a swap I received from Ann Wills last year...

I haven't put much up here this month as I have been very busy making Christmas cards and gifts. I tell myself every year to get them done early, but I never do!

The Summer Mini Catalogue is here...

On Saturday we went to a brunch to celebrate a friend's 21st birthday. She has a gorgeous one-year old boy, so it was a lovely morning with loads of kids around! We bought her an inspirational desktop calendar as a gift. It was so inspirational, the cover inspired the card I made for her...

Punches have come a long way from simple circles and squares. New manufacturing technologies make it possible to produce punches with detailed, intricate designs and more options than just a single image. The triple layer punches are a perfect example. These punches let you create three different punch images with one punch - it's like getting three punches for the price of one!

Here's something for Christmas...

This petal card was made for my brother-in-law's birthday using Well Worn DSP, which is great for masculine cards (see page 129 of the catalogue)...

This a petal card and it only seems fitting that I used the Paisley Petals stamp set and matching DSP to create a Petal Card...
