Back To Basics and Beyond...

Morning Everyone,

 Im here with a New Design Team Bonnet on . Im now on the fabby Back To Basics and Beyond Design Team. This is a brilliant challenge with the name being the big clue!! Its all about going back to the basics and learning new techiques along the way.

This fortnight the challenge is a One Sheet Wonder. 

See back to basics and beyond!! I had never even heard of this till last week. The idea is to use one sheet of 12 x 12 and get lots of cards from it.

Here is one of the many page cutting ideas that there are over on pinterest.


I have used a Forever Friends Festive 12 x 12 Sheet along with some stamps from my stash and a couple of new Lili of the Valley Sentiment Digi Stamps.
