    Well that a great bit of creative thinking - turning your digi into a framed print Melissa. It's very effective ... especially as your backing papers carry through the fir and pine cone theme from the image. Love Ingrid xxx

    That is lovely - such a brilliant idea to leave it uncoloured. It looks lovely against the coloured background paper :-) Fabulous. !!
    Thanks for using one of mine :-)
