They come with the little character, front and back, and the large wording. I also brought the aperture die to cut out the window. I’ll be able to use this on lots of other cars designs.

Hey.
So I’ve managed to log back into this blog after recently starting to craft again 😊
It’s a bit of a long story but my crafting passion got pushed out when we had our daughter Isobel, now 7. Isobel has some additional needs and managing 2 children, working as a nurse and general life commitments took over. Then 2 years ago we moved house and all my crafting supplies were boxed up for the move. We have been renovating the house and I was adamant I was having my own craft room/area again.
Finally we have completed our renovations and turned the old double garage into a large family room. I have half this space for my crafts 😉, the other half has a tv/Xbox area and Isobel’s play/craft area. Isobel loves to craft now too. She is just like her mommy. Nurture definitely beats nature 😊.
So I’m mainly back making cards, as I find this so therapeutic. I’ve also dabbled in a bit of soft crafts, making some little gift bags, bunting etc. I hope to learn more on this side of things.
So I’ll be uploading my makes here, as a place to keep my memories if nothing else. It was so magical when I found my blog and posts from 2011.
