Inkstability: Don't Stop Believin'

Who can believe it's almost Christmas already??!! This month you'll see quite a few Christmas cards as the focal point of my blogs. Several reasons - I love Christmas, I haven't finished making all my Christmas cards, I'm still enjoying playing with the new Christmas products, are a few!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy seeing them! There will also be some 'normal' cards as there is always a call for non-Christmas cards!!
