A Friendly Hello – Welcome to 2022
When you live in a different country from your immediate family, the Christmas break, for me, is definitely longer. Getting back on track takes a little longer. It is a new year and Stampin’ Up! just issued the new Occasions Mini catalog and the new Sale-a-bration brochure. Lots of lovely new products to play with.

Itty Bitty Christmas Package – Very Merry
A very simple little card for you today.

So many of the current challenges are using aContinue reading “Itty Bitty Christmas Package – Very Merry”
Brilliant Wings Butterfly – Thinking of You
Playing around with the current Freshly Made Sketch Challenge (#514) and mixing it up by Water Coloring for the Happy Little Stampers Watercolor Challenge (December) with the colors suggested by the TGIF Challenges (#345).
