Halloween Party!



I have just finished designing these halloween papers and party invitiations.
You could print out the invitations in colour.....or colour the black and white versions yourself or get the kids to colour them in before giving them to their friends!
You could make actual cards and put the invitations inside as inserts.
We have digi versions of 'Halloween Josh & Jodie' in colour and blackline to decorate the front of the cards.
I have also added sentiments with coloured backgrounds in the party invitations pack so you can cut them out with your Nesties.
There is also a blackline version of the sentiment without a background so you can print it on top of the papers if you wish.....or just onto a white background

Corrugated Effect Papers & Halloween Jodie



My latest downloadable digi paper 'Corrugated'
I love using corrugated card but it is quite expensive and difficult to find.
So I have designed this paper pack with a corregated affect.
It comes in the usual 20 colours of our 'Colour Collection' papers with the added bonus of White, Cream and natural

Halloween Jodie


Have you seen our new Halloween Jodie digi stamp?
She is just too cute for words.
You recieve both colour and a blackline image for you to colour her yourself if you wish.
