It’s been such a busy week I haven’t had any time to create and I so miss it.  I hope to find just a little crafty time tomorrow although the housework is waiting (but then it always is lol) .

Just in Time!

Hiya, a quick share today of a pair of cards I had published with the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine. The feature is ‘time management’ so it means a simple card which is easy to reproduce and a more complex version.  This reminds me that I really need to get this tiny hearts background out again, it’s just so sweet.
