Now the rush of holiday preparations are over maybe you are sitting and ready for some card inspiration – and I have a great one for you today!

Well I just had to have a go – so here is the result
Continue readingAnother success for my personal decorative paper challenge – I love the Stampin’ UP! paper packs – it is practically the first thing I look at when a new catalog comes out – when it arrives I oooo and aaahhh over it then ‘save’ it for the perfect project to come along, which is a long way to say that I hoard it!!!!!!!
My challenge to myself is to use the paper – so today’s card uses a big piece of it!!!!
