I have started making Cards after getting inspiration from all your posts. I love looking at all your photos for ideas and have found some good tips on Youtube.

Have been looking at Christmas card verses to put in card and thought this was appropriate for all friends of crafty card people.

When the tree is down
And the tinsel's stored
Most toys are discarded
And the kids are fresh bored
When the turkey's all gobbled
And nothing's left of the cake
It's time to reach for your craft box
There's cards to make
