A bright gift bag for Mother’s Day goodies

A bright gift bag for Mother’s Day goodies

Hubby and I share the tasks in our house - haha, not really! - but since DH made the card for Mari, I made her gift bag. Mari loves bags and boxes and she loves bright colours, so I took some of the Big Top Birthday DSP as the basis for my colour combo. And as Mari is...

What to do with extra cards

What to do with extra cards

Last month I had a few thank you cards left over. I tend to make them in batches, (in fact I now take them to work with me in a small box and sit in the coffee house at lunchtime and work on them , it's a great break from the day job) and I ended up with four spares...
