Anyway, where-ever you are, I wish you a very Merry Christmas and hope that you are well, and staying healthy and happy. I […]

Cards with Pines throughout the year
Which camp are you in? Do you feel images for pine trees are just for Christmas? Can you use the pine trees for other occasions? I say “yes” to both. Pine trees are evergreen, so no matter what time of year, they can be used on a card and not just at Christmas. We’ll start […]
Simple cards with Dove of Hope
It’s surprising that even being in lock down for most of the year, we’ve managed to creep into December. In the UK we have had restrictions lifted over a five day period for Christmas.
