There are lovely stamped details and pretty papers throughout and the addition of the personalised calendar is a fabulous idea. A lovely keepsake card.

I love Suze's fancy fold card and the beautiful image with co-ordinating papers.

This snowy, card has a beautiful design using the die cut snowflake background to showcase the cute image. The layered trees add depth to the scene too.
