Welcome to my crafty blog and a spring card featuring a host of daffodils. I’ve had this paper from the retired Stampin’ Up! ‘daffodil afternoon’ set for some time and struggled to think how to use it.

Welcome to my crafty blog and another Christmas card showcasing both sides of one of the new ‘fitting florets’ papers from Stampin’ Up! I’ve taken the sketch from Atlantic Hearts for this one.
