Charming!

 Last year the clasp broke on my cheap pandora style Christmas Charm bracelet. So I saved the charms to use on this years Christmas cards. I, then, promptly forget about them!

I've just found them when routing around for something else, They are a selection of presents, snowmen, snowflakes, Santa etc

I've threaded them on red velvet or silver ribbon and layered them on scraps of sparkly Dufex that I have had kicking around for years.

plus I've used some other scraps of backing papers too - so quite pleased with the overall effect.

Valentines Day Beckons

Yes, us cardmakers always have to think ahead, so today I made a few Valentines cards to take to work and sell

They were all made with bits of stash that I have had for ages (possibly years!), so it was good that they were being used at long last!

Doves of Peace

This card was made from the Christmas freebies with Papercrafter Magazine.

I liked the traditional looking papers plus the sheet music stamp that came with them. Next I'm going to make up the gift boxes - even though I haven't bought any presents to put in them yet!!
