Roll on Spring

 Roll on Spring 1

Roll on Spring 2

I have joined a couple of new crafting forums courtesy of my friend Lottie.  The first of these can be found at http://www.cardmakingparadise.com and is run and populated by some lovely women who couldn't be more friendly or more creative.  I recommend it wholeheartedly.


The ATCs above are the first 'sit down and stamp' work that I've braved for a while.  Most of my papercrafting items have been boxed up for two years or more whilst I moved homes a bit.  I finally unpacked all the stamps and embossing powders this week and organised my work area.  This has spurred me into action.  That said, these first couple of ATCs seem a little too careful, a bit neat for my liking, but it is good to be getting embossing powder all over the place again.
