Your scenes are always so amazing! Love the mugs and the mermaids. Thanks for sharing your technique video.
These are all amazing! I love how you combine different sets and how you come up with all these ideas amazes me every release! Fantastic! xx
The detail in your cards is always amazing. What a fabulous showcase of the new release and some older favourites too! They are all outstanding 😍😍😍
WOW!! The festive mermaids are gorgeous. The water effect, so realistic you can almost see it dripping off the card. Brilliant! The Xmas cocktails are scrumptious, make mine a double. Ice and a slice.
