Oodles of cards ...

I spent a few hours last weekend making lots of cards for charity - some to send to our local Marie Curie Hospice in Newcastle and some to take into the special school where I work to raise some funds to buy a new swing in our outdoor learning area.

They were so simple to make because I used the fabulous pre-coloured images from the Lili Of The Valley Art Pads and also the large pre-coloured images from their outlet shop (have you been over there yet? lots of opportunities to grab a bargain). I added a few sheets of LOTV papers and some scraps of ribbon and I made 46 in an afternoon so I was happy
