Handmade Cards at Mrs H's Crafty Corner: November 2020

A Perfect Time to Craft December

Can you believe it is December tomorrow? I can't!! But that means it is time for a new challenge over at A Perfect Time to Craft.

This months sponsor is Dr Digi House of Stamps and my inspiration uses the digital stamp 'Best Seat In The House'

I love this image it is the perfect representation of our pampered pooch Hamish, albeit he is a much smaller size.
