  6. LIke the Santa card. Especially like the postage stamp cut & bow. Noticed something odd when I go to the Craftin Dessert Diva site I get a screen that has PhotoBucket stuff on it and I cannot see the screen clearly. Do you know what the problem is? Can you get to the site ok?

  11. My sweetest friend, you know my Christmas-loving self is just over-the-moon to see a festive project from you! :o) What a fantastic (and brilliant) use of lovely dies and beautiful papers! I LOVE that Santa! I wish I had that stack just for that part. :o) (Well, and all of the other papers... hehe!) Your die choices work together so beautifully to stand alone, yet showcase the pretty papers and sentiment so happily. The little button die is so sweet! Wonderfully done as always, my dear Lisa! Merry Christmas! (I couldn't resist.) :o)

    Hugs and blessings,
