Isn’t it funny how the memory works. Whether it’s particular foods, smells, sights or sounds, they can all be triggers. One of the most common for me is music. My regular followers will know that the Christmas colours of red, gold and green are always accompanied (in my head) by the song “Karma Chameleon” by Culture Club.

MERRY MELODY This project began with the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder. I didn't have any idea what I was going to make, just that I wanted to try out this new product. As it's ... VIEW POST
