I'm a SAHM with three young children. I trained in Textile Design at the Glasgw School of Art and I love all things handmade, but especially papercrafts.  I love to doodle ... and my doodles are available to purchase as digital images through Stitchy Bear Stamps.

The prize is the winners choice of 3 digis.....




The team have used images from Hope Jacare,but as I was on holiday my card was made before I went so I didn't  get chance to use one,but please check out the rest of the teams cards,their all fabulous......
