What makes you happy at Allsorts
Gail has given a fabulous optional theme at Allsorts Challenge this time.
What makes you happy? or Anything Goes
Two prizes of a Penny Black stamp and die set from Buddly Crafts
I have lots of things in my life that give me joy and my crafting life features many different types. Aside from papercrafting I have picked up Cross Stitch after a break of a few years. There are lots of amazing patterns available these days and this one really appealed to me after the long wet winter we endured.

AYLI Embossing
Hello, hello. I hope you are all doing OK.
I am here today with my DT inspiration for
The prompt this time is your Favourite Embossing method.
I am an enormous fan of heat embossing and still watch in awe as the powder melts.
For this little collection of Christmas cards I used the plaid paper as my starting point. I think it it was quite possibly from Dovecrafts Little Red Robin paper pack.
I stuck the papers on the card blanks and had a rummage through my christmas stamps. This set is from Crafters Companion Sara Signature Scandinavian Christmas Collection (probably still available somewhere!!)
