Take a look at some cool decoupage

I love Jozza's work, and was very taken with these two cards. The first is made with some new decoupage papers, which I thought were so funky and different to the usual flowers/fairies/teddies. The second is an inspiring Christmas design that I for one will be scraplifting this year. Click HERE to see Jozza's great blog

Her blog is a pleasure to read as it incorporates not only her craft projects, but her love of her 3 *uber* cute and sometimes crafty cats, but her love of flowers in her garden too.

And another point, look at all this dimensional layering. Amazing. And as if 10 layers of cuteness wasn't enough Kim hits us again with a fluffy bunny tail. *see first pic*
