My PaperArtsy Year

Hello all, and welcome.  December seems to be rushing away from me, so I'm just dropping in very quickly to let you know that I'm over on the PaperArtsy blog with a post celebrating and reflecting on the stamps and stencils I've created with them over the course of 2025.

As well as looking back at each of the three releases (three stamp sets and three stencils each time), I've created a special end-of-year project using a combination of the 2025 designs.

Head over to PaperArtsy to see how I managed to combine a spring release, a summer release and an autumn release to create this festive winter wreath!

I hope you'll enjoy this retrospective of my creative year with PaperArtsy.  I'm so proud of the work we've done together, and thrilled that so many of you have bought the stamps and stencils and have been making beautiful things with them.  Thank you for your incredible support along the way.

(I know it's a busy time of year, so do feel free to bookmark the post and enjoy it with your feet up once the main festivities are out of the way!)  Wishing you all the very best of the season, and happy crafting all!
