Big News! Be the Star!

I think it’s safe to post this now.  At time of posting, I had no idea whether the Big News or Be the Star stamp sets  survived the cut.  If it hasn’t, then I’m just in time for using it before it’s retired!   This was specially designed for a member of my lovely team […]

Party Wishes for my Grandson

At the age of 6 what do little boys think of?  Yay Presents!  Party Wishes was just perfect for him! He’s growing up and it’s mostly DS games and he’s just so tech savvy at this tender age – time to switch to a more grown up look for his card.  However I couldn’t resist […]
