Although a bit behind with my #30DayChristmasCardmakingCballenge posts, I’ve been steadily working behind the scenes on my cards. I’m enjoying the creative process of selecting whatever stamps that work with the theme and getting lots of enjoyment from showing love to my old stamp sets that have been sitting on the shelf collecting dust.

Hello and welcome to our New at SU Blog Hop. This month we are aiming to make your life a bit easier with some packaging for Gift Cards and Gift Certificates because we know how busy these next few weeks are going to be. I’m using the Sending Cheer bundle which is a really fun…
I’m having a load of fun with the #30DayChristmasCardmakingChallenge and #nostalgicnovember and really enjoying stretching my creative thinking.
