  13. Oh how beautiful Nicola, you conjured up memories of magical winters in Canada for me when my brother and I would go sledging, all bundled up in scarves and mittens (mine were always red!)... I love your beautiful red mittens with the wonderful lace bows. The corrugated card goes so well with the music sheet, lovely toning ribbon and the lovely chipboard stockings. A beautiful design! Hugs, Anne xx

  16. Waouh ! Another beauty here ! I like so much this deep red colour, really the colour of red velvet. It is very nicely associated with ivory tones. I payed attention to all the small buttons, such a clever and lovely idea to have spread them like you did all over the card surface creating a unique decoration. Bravo !
