My Little Paper World

Hello! Welcome back! This card was shared over at the StickerKitten blog last week - I'm playing blog catch up this month (because October has been absolutely CRAZY!)  Today I'm sharing a few cards I created from the latest collection box from StickerKitten! Its called Alpaca Wishes and just like the name suggests its got really cute Alpaca's and a soft Christmas Wintery feel to it. It's one of my favourite collections so far!  When I decide to create a set of cards I generally like to pick a technique or idea that can be creatively developed in different ways.
