Cards for kids – Tech 4 Stampers Blog Hop. Happy New Year! I hope you all had a lovely festive break now back to reality! January’s theme is a card for kids so I’m welcoming the opportunity to get ahead with some birthday cards for my little nephews this month, although their birthdays aren’t until March and April. I hope I remember where I put them when the time comes to posting them!
Welcome to January’s Tech 4 Stampers blog hop!
The Tech 4 Stampers is a monthly subscription group run by Louise Sims. She mentors and enables members to understand IT jargon and equips them with a fountain of Technical knowledge to build or manage their own websites. It takes the mystery out of “tech” and I’ve certainly grown in confidence thanks to her expertise, patience and guidance. Not only that, I’ve met and made new friends with my fellow “Techs” and love the camaraderie within the group.
