Keep Smiling

I was very shocked when I received a free copy of Stampers Sampler, for Oct/Nov 09.

I have a serviette card published. I was thrilled. so was Cheryl at Onyx Xpression.

Tri Fold Shutter card

I made this card as a thank you for being invited out to dinner. the person concerned hardly looked at it. !!!!

It was a challenge on Oriental Stamp Art which I couldn't join, so thought I would try my hand at it this week.

I didn't think it was that bad. for a one armed bandit. and a first attempt.

Puccini's canvas

I made this for our card of the month for Stamp Art Friends. decided it was a bit too bulky

so didn't use it.
