My little beauties......Zip & Tam....

A recipe card made for a friend who shares our love of Portugal. Shapes and apertures cut with Accent Essentials Cricut cartridge, and tabs from Stampin Up Totally Tabs Stamps/Punch.

This is a thank you card I made to take to Antigua with us for the guy who will be showing us around the island. I thought the stamp of London sights was rather appropriate to take overseas !! It's another Craft Individuals stamp (number CI-221)

Valentine's Day 2009

For Nigel...my husband.

I used the free stamp that came with Craft Stamper magazine last month and the paper is from the retired Brocade pack from Stampin Up.

Handmade Cards
