A card in the post or a hand written note is such a joy to receive don't you think? Even with the instant connectivity of the internet there is nothing like a card arriving and knowing that someone has taken the trouble to put pen to paper, and posted it to you. This has inspired my project today. Its a pretty gift box to hold cards. Its an easy make, made using the envelope punch board. I made it to fit standard size cards and envelopes just ... VIEW POST

I was none the wiser really. Then we went on holiday together to the States and whilst there she took me to a scrapbook store. That was it! That ... VIEW POST
Better Together!
I'm just about coming back down to earth from the fabulous time we all had in Amsterdam at On Stage Live. The Onstage Live event is bigger than the local ones held in the U K that I have attended before. Stampin Up move the Live event around the world every 18 months and this time it was Europe's turn to have it. It was AMAZING! Stampin Up's conventions are so much fun. Its done very well and we are so well looked after. 830 demonstrators from across ... VIEW POST
