Opening my pressie


Back to the Christmas samples for LOTV today. The image is from the Christmas Pugs art sheet and the papers are scandi Christmas. I love using spots and stripes to create patterns and used a LOTV swirly greeting, a Fiskars tag punch and MFT banner dies.

The Ribbon Girl anything goes

I promised to let you know what I did for my Birthday. Well on Saturday we travelled to Doncaster and stayed at a Premier Inn which is next door to some outlets so we spent the afternoon shopping and then had a lovely meal. On Sunday we went to Harlow Carr Gardens and then checked into a hotel in Skipton. We had booked a superior room overlooking the canal. We were there for two nights and will be travelling home today, having spent yesterday in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. Will try to catch up with you all as soon as I can.
