Babs

My name is Barbara, but I get called Babs. I have 3 grown children and 8

grandchildren, plus 2 great-grandchildren and they all mean the world to me,

there's never a dull moment. I live in Portugal most of the time, but come home

for the summer. I got into card making a few years ago and am now

totally addicted. I am thrilled to be on the Design Team at Sparkles Christmas

Here is my first card to remind you all of our challenge.

Thanks Babs, once again welcome to the Design Team.

There is still time to join us in our challenge

No Designer Papers, which remains open until the end of August.
