I have used a stamp which no one could call a Christmas stamp or even think of using except me of course!! I used it last month to make a card for Sis's Birthday. Now she was a bit perturbed that I had bought the stamp especially for her card and was worried that it would never get used again. Never fear Sis it has and as she is busy packing to go on holiday won't have time to look on my blog and see this. If you are Sis then look away now cos this is your Christmas card!!!
