Teal Doodle Flower

A birthday card with a Dilly Beans Doodle Flower and tag on a very plain teal background.  I intended to emboss the background, but stuck the tag down before I realised and it was too stuck to remove : (

Paper - My Mind's Eye Collectable "Notable" for tag

My Favourite 5 Christmas Cards of 2014

Debby at A Scrapjourney is again asking for our fave Christmas cards for the year.  Most of mine seem to feature the Sweet Cuts Classy Deer die from Sweet Stamps. (I love that little deer : )









Plus one extra because this set of mini Rudolphs was so easy to make and turned out cute and elegant at the same time.
