Dare I show it?

Hmmmm, rather a silly title for a post, because obviously if I didn't dare I wouldn't be posting now would I? The thing is I have started on my Christmas projects (ouch, - it is only August....) but the other thing is, I have a little time now still and there is so much coming up, so here goes: A couple of cards and the start of yet another commissioned mini book....  The papers I am using are Graphics 45 Christmas Emporium and Bo Bunny Noel

    Wonderful combination of papers... the inside of the tag holder is just lovely, as is the tag card - beautiful. So glad my computer lets me visit your site now I'm back in the UK... I can sign up properly at last!
