Liz C. = choosing to do a ____ for the #9 theme

her blog address: Liz C

a brief biography profile: Bio: I live in the West of England with my hubby and we'll be celebrating our Golden Wedding Anniversary this month.  We have a daughter, a son and one granddaughter.   I'm a retired Infant School teacher, mainly teaching children aged four and five, a job I loved.  I've been cardmaking for 20+ years and especially like to make fancy fold cards or adding cross stitching to my cards.

Thanks, Liz! Your card is an elegant keepsake!
