Penny Black - Frosty Hops

 Happy Sunday friends!

I hope today is a good one!

I said I'd be back soon and here I am!  It's been an age since I posted twice in a week so things are definitely going in an upward trend!

I have to admit to being more than a little bit in love with a lot of the Christmas stamps available at Penny Black.

They are so beautiful and the attention to detail in the designs is exquisite.

I have a few so expect to see more from me in the coming weeks!

(I mean - you all know how much I love making Christmas Cards) (;
