| Star Letter"Dear CB, Your magazine has been inspiring me with its images and papers since my sister gave me the birthday gift of a subscription last year. I love making cards, and one of my busiest periods is the festive season. I have kept every magazine I've ever got of yours and I'm currently going through the issues from 2008 for ideas and inspiration for this festive period. Last Christmas I made over 100 personalised cards for friends and work colleagues and donated 50p per card to Children in Need. The most popular ones were those I made using your papers! For 2009, I'm following your advice and starting my card making even earlier, so that I have time for creating my own cards as well as the ones I am hoping to sell again for charity. Thanks for all your fab ideas over the last year - they've helped my crafting come on leaps and bounds! Here are some of the cards that I've made using papers and inspiration from CB. I can't wait to get stuck into creating my new projects, I think the robin template from last month will definitely be making a few appearances!" Julia Mackay, Edinburgh |
