Xmas card: Bright little reindeer
What: I picked up this sweet little reindeer the other day and decided to use it for this month’s Make It Crafty challenge: “bright colours”.

Make a wish card: Snoozing puppy
What: A cute dreaming puppy for Gerda Steiner’s August challenge. How: This card started with a single thought: this snoozing puppy needs a place to curl up and the Avery Elle furry friends set has the perfect cushion for him. But that means creating a mask of a digital stamp and I daren’t risk putting… Continue reading Make a wish card: Snoozing puppy
