Just for you bear with rose and hearts (Conie Fong image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I love this little bear from Conie Fong, isn't it darling? I got it from Sweet Pea Stamps who have unfortunately closed and although I've googled to try and find it for you, I didn't have any luck except for finding a rubber stamp from Crafts & Me that has one of her bears. So if anyone knows where to get Conie Fong images now please let me know. 

Well that's it from me tonight, but I will post again soon. Happy New Year everyone!!!

Hugs and Cake card (Digistamps4Joy image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I hope you're all getting some craft time during this Christmas season? I have the whole week off so I am totally making the most of it when having some quiet down time. 

Here's another non-Christmas card I have just made using another Digistamps4Joy image. I love this chef image and thought it would go lovely with black and pastel colours.
