  105. Beautiful card. I have the Merry Christmas die and I love it. The colours you used with it are great.

    ReplyDelete
  106. Oh Susanne this card you have made using the traditional Christmas collection is fantastic, I did purchase the whole collection but must admit I have not used it yet, I think I am like many crafters who want to save it for best................I must break this habit.

    I like everyone else who has commented on the blog hop would absolutely love to win something, but what I want to see is all the inspiration and especially the tutorials because to me it is the most useful part, I see lots of pictures of cards but although I can guess how they are done it is so much easier if I don't have to start from scratch, I must admit on occasions I do copy some people's cards (with their permission) but on the whole I tend to use the inspiration and put my interpretation on it, does that make sense.

    Anyway good luck everyone,

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
