Christmas Inspiration

Look at these beautiful cards sent to me by reader Catherine Boorman. Big thank you to Catherine for sharing these with us. They are made using the gorgeous Chocolate Baroque stamp which was free with the December issue.

If you've made something with the free stamp you'd like to share, email me at cs@traplet.com and your make could be here too!

Send us your thoughts...

Tell us what you think! It's the time of year when we do our annual review and look at what new features we might bring into CS in 2013. We already have one or two ideas up our sleeves, but we'd love to know what YOU'D most like to see! Which articles do you love and which just don't float your boat? Who are your favourite designers? What do you wish there was more of and less of? Is there something we don't cover that you'd love to see included?

Write to me at cs@traplet.com with your thoughts.

One person who sends me comments by 23rd November will win some fabby spray inks!

Thanks so much for your time :)
