Just following a Colour Challenge from Keesh today.  Blue Bayou, Ruby Red, Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla. I’ve been working on some cards for a new magazine called Papercraft Essentials, where I made up some of my own background paper.  So I decided to have a bit more of a play with this, but I…

I’m still here!  Thanks to everyone who sent emails asking if we were safe.  Thankfully we live on the other side of town to where the fire was.  I did have several friends who were evacuated from their homes, so there were some tense times for them. Sandy Palm took these photo’s from her family…
