Morning readers,
I've a make to share with you today ....... I was commissioned to make this card by a pal who might otherwise have been buying one at the weekend but ...... one of her colleagues tested positive for Covid so she had no choice to self-isolate. Lucky she knows someone who makes cards, eh?!?!? Just gotta hope that her husband liked it too.

A fantastic anniversary card for your friend's hubby and I love the sparkly little hearts on the big heart, and then the beautiful star with the little tone on tone stars on the Christmas card, both using stencils throughout and both great designs Kathy. The weather has veered from one extreme to the other this week but you kept going out which shows bags of commitment. x
