Hello crafty friends. Today’s card is another nice and simple CAS one, this time using one of the ‘Bible Verses’ set from Stampendous and Stampin’ Up!’s ‘forever fern’ stamp set.

Welcome to my crafty blog. Another quick card today – for some reason I’ve been really tired all day, although that may have something to do with the fact that my sister came to stay for the weekend and we’ve been out & about in London.
