Digital Stamp Delight !

Good Morning!
As you're reading this I will have been up since 4:30am, you've got to love getting up at that time for an early shift at work!
I've managed to stick to my intentions though and carry on crafting when I get a spare couple of hours, which is exactly what I did yesterday afternoon on my day off. I also seem to have managed to stick to another intention of using more Digital stamps ... let's hope I can keep this up lol

Today's card is using a Digital Stamp by Mo's Digital Pencil, I've had it a little while but I never got around to printing it out, until now!

4x4 Winter Card Set ... Part 1 !

Good Morning!

Warm Winter Fairy Wishes !

Good Morning!
Well my fortnight off work is coming to an end today, needless to say I'm feeling rather subdued as it's gone too quickly and I didn't get half the stuff done that I'd intended to ... ho hum.
The rate of cards I make will probably reduce again but I shall do my best to keep it up, the urge to actually craft seems to have well and truly returned!

Today's card is another Christmas card (sorry!) but I treated myself to some new and older LOTV stamps a month or so ago and I was determined to try and get the majority of them inked up throughout my time off. Fingers crossed I'l get some more done today!
