WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

I thought that, as many of us are sitting here a little dazed at how quickly the 25th is hurtling towards us, today would be a great day to do a little “Spotlight On 2016” featuring some of my favourite Stamping Bella releases from the year and some inspiration to go with them.

Before I do that, I’d like to wish those of you that celebrate a very Happy Christmas, and offer all of you my very best wishes for a fantastic start to 2017. For those of you going through tough times, I hope things improve for you soon, and that you find a little peace for yourselves.
