Potato Printing by Helen R Haddad

I picked up this great vintage book before Christmas. I had a go with the family over the holidays but have to confess that we only ended up with large sheets of unrecognisable splodges!

A Warm Glow

I love the way this Rob Ryan card changes as the light changes.

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.
