In case you weren't aware, this time next month Christmas will be over. You know even though I've been providing you with regular reminders, somehow, once again, Christmas has crept up on me. So now I'm back in that mad rush to get things done in time. I still have cards to make and mail, and other decorative items and gifts to assemble. This weekend I'll try to plan my shopping so I can buy the bulk of my groceries well ahead of time. Then with that done I'll spend a few hours in the craft ... VIEW POST
Natural Textures For A Basketweave Background
I hope everyone remembered to stock up on card, ink pads and dies during the Seasonal Sale.

Peaceful Moments With Blackberry Beauty DSP
After yesterday's Post-It Note® project I wanted to create something much more colourful today. As luck would have it, over the weekend I received an e-mail from the Paper Players with their latest design challenge.
