When the card is closed, the circles are stacked on top of each other as pictured above. Thank you to Alyssa for the inspiration – I can’t remember her second name – it starts with a Z and was difficult to pronounce that’s why I forgot!

Sew Lovely, Button Button
I woke up at 2.00 this morning and was missing my baby and her babies and couldn’t get back to sleep. They left mid afternoon yesterday and the house feels strangely quiet. Everything is back in its proper place as we had to raise the plumb line to stop baby getting his hands on things he shouldn’t […]

Her brief was to do a card using the Springtime Vintage Designer papers and something feminine. The cardstock I’ve used is Baja Breeze, Basic Gray and Very Vanilla. I ran the Baja […]
