I am on Holidays

Hi everyone!
Just wanted to let you all know I am not going to be posting cards for the next 6 days or so. I have my 3 year old. grandson here till next Tuesday. As you have also seen from my last post I have a new little kitten. I have my hands full as you can imagine! My office has evolved over the years and now is a temporary cattery for Hannah.

Now I may be on holiday from card making but it has not stopped me from looking at all the great new digital images over at Squigglefly! If you have not tried digital stamping yet you just have to go there to see all the images! There are also free images for you so you can try them out! They are so easy to work with; just size them to what you need and print!! It's that easy!

Squigglefly is also going to be giving you a free image of your choice everytime you spend 15.00 or more! That's a great deal!

In the month of July, Squigglefly will be donating 50% of all sales in the "Animals" category to the ASPCA. The ASPCA is a humane organization seeking to eliminate cruelty to animals by removing them from cruelty situations and finding them new, loving, forever homes.
Well that's it for now....Quinn will be waking up any minuet now......Then the race will be on again!!!! LOL
