PTW - THANK YOU

It's always nice to say thank you for all the lovely gifts we receive and what better way to do it than with a handmade card.....a great theme this week on PTW!

I receive lots of wonderful gifts from children and colleagues at school, and really enjoy my time off over Christmas making thank you cards for them. I am making 4" square cards for the adults and will do 3" square cards for the children.

I am really loving Earth Love by Cosmo Cricket at the moment and below are a few more .....

The DT have some wonderful creations to show you here, and the sponsor this week is Dawny herself !
