Love these pretty papers by K&Company. They aren’t Christmas papers but I made a couple of cards anyway. As you can see, I got a whopping TWO made. At this rate I’ll have enough cards for my aunts. And that’s all. 🙂 Hope you’re finding some creative time this week!

Literary Art Card–“Jane Eyre”
I’ve always been a fan of the gothic novel, Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte. I especially love the 2007 film version with Ruth Wilson. As I was playing around with my new stamps and some pieces of book text, I made this card. I could wax eloquent on the symbolism included in […]
