Christmas Animals......

Afternoon ladies

I am back with the second of the small card classes, and that it will be the last of the card classes until the New Year.
Time has gone by so quickly, to think I have done another year.  I have to think of ideas for my own cards now, hopefully I don't draw a blank. Back to the small cards and the samples.

Papers are new and are from The Hobby House collection.
