I’ve had the Bookatrix board for quite some time but really don’t use it often enough! I was never happy with the cutting-out around the edges of the ‘book’ but I think – since I was recommended to use decorative scissors to cut around the edges – I’ve liked those that...
A few years ago I decided to go green and not send Christmas Cards – instead I donated the money to charity. A couple of years later I decided that I really did enjoy making cards too much to carry on being green so I’ve gone back to old ways. This year, I had all my cards made by early November,...
