Scrap and stamp club yesterday was heaps of fun.  Got 3 cards made in 2 hours - pretty good for me!  My daughter also made some cards.  If she'll let me I will show you tomorrow.  They were Christmas cards for the troops.  It's an initiative of Paper Lady (see side bar for link) and we send blank handmade cards to the overseas posted troops so they can send a personal greeting to their family.  If you want to get involved contact Karen through the Paper Lady site.  You might think it's a bit early for Christmas cards but the idea is to do a few a month and by October we'll have heaps and no-one has had to stress out!!

Happy crafting!
Cheers
