Wow! What a fab time we've just had at convention in Disneyland Paris! It's so exciting to get together with such a large group of people who are all nuts about crafting. We all have similar reactions to the papers and ribbons and stamp sets and we understand each...
Yay! The day's arrived and finally we're off to convention. I'm just waiting for two of my friends to arrive and then DH will drive us to the airport to meet up with the fourth one of our merry little band. (Poor DH gets to play taxi driver and then stay home to look...

The single Sweet Snowglobe stamp will work with the Circle Treat Cups. I'm certainly looking forward to making a card with that combination in the future, but this stamp is also great for a very quick Christmas card when you need one. I'm finding that I turn to the...
Today's card uses the new Aviary stamp set. Now, while you'll find this set in the Nursery Nest product suite, it doesn't have to be confined to using on new baby cards. Here I've used it for an adult birthday card. At first I wasn't too sure what colour to team with...
