OFF THE PAGE

I decided to use a really old image by Elisabeth Bell. I'm not sure if you know but she has a 'Creative Club' which you can join. There is a link you can follow to it on my side bar. I just love her images & have lots of her earlier rubber stamps, but to have them in digi form is amazing. You can do so much more with digi's than you can rubber! Wow! I never thought I'd say that, as I truly do love my rubber stamps!!

Anyhoos here's my make xx

I decided to make a gate fold card for my Santa to stand on!
