  1. Wow Nicola, where do I start? The candy stripe background is beautiful and really suits the 'sweet tidings' sentiment. I love the three images, they are so cute, especially the children on the sleighs on the left side, the tiny snowflake stencilling in the background gives a lovely snowy feel too. You are so masterful in the way you bring elements together into a wonderful design - your projects are always so inspirational! Hugs, Anne xx

I love the sweet fresh color tones you used, the images with the cutest kids, from yesteryear , the dye buttons, and your gorgeous wreath. This too takes me right back, in time, - so very beautiful.

  12. Another very beautiful card Nicola, I like particularly the laughing children hidden behind the flower and the leaf and the delicate buttons as well as the red and white ribbon looking like tiny sugar canes. Enjoy a beautiful evening. xxxx Véronique.
