Granmargarets cards-n-stuff

Welcome to my blog

I started this blog in April 2012 so I could join Challenges. I am now on some design teams. I hope you like my cards. I started stamping in 1995 but my cards are still mostly cute.

Thank you to those who have joined as followers and to those who comment.

Unfortunately because of spammers I have had to put moderation on the comments. I will approve them as soon as possible, this also means I don't miss any.

I don't always get a chance to reply to all comments but I read them all when I approve them and I really appreciate you taking the time to give your comment.

The lovely banner was made especially for me by Amanda at Faery Ink Art & Design when I won her first blog challenge. family:";">http://faeryink.com/product/granmargaret-fairy-digital-stamp/

My eyes are still very fuzzy after my four weekly injections for the Macula degeneration in both eyes yesterday. Unfortunately the other injections and drops for the glaucoma in my right eye didn't work so I have to have another operation on my right eye. (I have already had 3 operations on my right eye and 2 on my left). If I don't have the operation I will probably go blind with 2 years.

I made this digital card today especially for a friend's eldest son and sent to her by email.
