I went shopping for Christmas dies at the weekend in my local craft shop - The Art of Craft.

Christmas Card Swap Card #1
I've started on my 5 cards for the card swap!

So I have no idea why I came up with this idea, but I thought the Stampin'… Continue reading Halloween Curvy Keepsake box – spider
