Yay!  It’s the weekend – Sheer Perfection!   Aha!   Here’s another type of Sheer Pefection though – Sheer Perfection Designer Vellum Stack!  This is one of the new Sale-A-Bration freebies which you can choose as your free option with a £45 net sale spend!  It doesn’t leap off the page when pictured like this […]

A Sympathy Card

This stamp set is another birthday gift I received the year before last, and I’ve just used it to make a Get Well Card for a friend. The butterfly is from “Live your Dream” and I punched out the heart from the Heart to Heart punch which is available in our catalogue. This is the […]
