Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers I hope you wont be put of by the theme title and if I'm really honest with you originally I had it down as more than 1 fold but I discovered that I had already used that one in September so I quickly changed it to "More than 1 of Anything" and this means anything you add to your card be it Images, Backing Papers, Embellishments the choice is completely yours but it must be more than ONE, just let us know what it is please.
Anyway I had better stop rabbiting on as our dog is off to the Groomers for a bath and clip today and I had better get a move on, but before I do I know that you will want to know who won last weeks "Christmas is Coming" and that lucky person chosen by Random Org is:-
