Time To Make A Start On Christmas

Well here we are, almost 1st October and the evenings are drawing in. Time to start thinking about those Christmas cards. One of my favourite paper collections is Wassail by Basic Grey.

I was lucky enough to be at The Stamp Pad last weekend for a Christmas demo day. What a lot of fun we had! One of the stamps that just had to come home with me was this fabulous jolly Santa by Inkadinkado, together with the lovely snowflake border punch by EK Success. A couple of scalloped nesties, a little Glamour Dust and I can almost hear sleigh bells.

Well, there you have it. My first card out there on the blogosphere! Thanks for stopping by.

First Tentative Steps

Welcome to my first ever blog post. It is a strange feeling, writing words into a blank space, not knowing who is going to read them or why.

I have a lot to learn about blogging, but hopefully a little to share about my passion for crafting.

I am a paperstroker! What more can I say? I collect it, look at it, stroke it and sometimes some of it even gets used. In the meantime, I buy some more. Well, it would be rude not to, especially when my favourite shop http://www.stamp-pad.co.uk/ is stuffed with the most scrumptious supplies.

Happy Crafting
