One door closes another one opens


So has my title intrigued you. Well the sad news is that Lee Holland has decided he does not have time at the moment to add any digis to his shop so there is no more need for a DT. However the day after I had this news I received a message on Facebook asking me if I would like to guest design for Paper Nest Dolls at Swedish House Crafts as they are now stocking them. I said yes of course as they are so cute and great quality stamps too. They are thickly etched red rubber which stamp beautifully. This is the second of the ones I bought, Celine and I decided to do something different for this one and stamped the card blank using an old Tim Holtz stamp set. I then coloured Celine with Copics and used some old Spellbinder labels 10 dies.

I would think PND's are right up your street Marianne and you'll do a great job with them, well done, I know when a company I design for had them I ran a mile, but you know me and cute, just as well we're not all the same.

Love your Parisian Miss, oh to be in Paris right now!
