I Love Baubles!


Bauble Girl is my personal card and mailshot for Christmas 2010. It seemed quite fitting as I really am a bauble addict! The lovely tree card is by Jane Foster and the snow dome by Lisa Jones.

'Rudolf the Sausage Dog' (above) is now sold out. I have a handful of Hubert xxx cards available here. The brilliant tree card on the left of the picture is by Walter Erhard. It was designed in the 1960s.
