A Little Bear


I'm on a self imposed stamp ban excluding digi ones, though I'm a bit rubbish keeping it as you can see with this new LOTV bear with the robin. Obviously I can't keep the no more papers till I use the loads I have already ban isn't working since this card is made with two new pads from LOTV too.
I apologies for my camera its seem to wash out the bears colours and he needs a bit shading but it real life of course he doesn't, suppose I should be grateful that my ribbon is red and not pink!
You can see my new favourite die from MFT called Crochet Border and has you can see it works a treat round my image circle.


It's an exciting month at Simon Says Stamps with exclusive interviews and special offers, so pop over and follow their blog to check out the last posts.
Naughty Nikki popped over yesterday with the new Autumn Seasonal Catalogue and wanted me to take some photos of her layouts which broke my stamp ban but I'm telling myself its for scrapbooking and thats a different genre!

Lovely Christmas card Debby. You could have a lot worse vices than collecting stamps and papers. At least you collect and use. Tartan papers work so well on Christmas cards.

I've noticed that credit repair activity has to be conducted with techniques. If not, chances are you'll find yourself endangering your ranking. In order to be successful in fixing your credit history you have to make sure that from this moment you pay all your monthly fees promptly prior to their scheduled date. It is really significant for the reason that by not accomplishing that, all other actions that you will take to improve your credit ranking will not be effective. Thanks for discussing your ideas.
