Downton is back with some new additions...

Hello there,

I adore the Downton Abbey range of die's and papercraft stash so much, it has everything for any type of card!  Male, female, really girly, full of stuff, clean and simple or completly modern!

So, I thought I'd share on of my samples for the show.....

I adore this frame die!  Its everything all in one, ornate and layers, so versatile and just look at that Sway and Tails round the box, that's a die I am gonna have so much fun with....

Here's the full list of what I used; where I have added a 'set' number, that will relate to the bundles on Hochanda starting from tomorrow...
