 Hi there Creators, Hands up if you like a cheap, classy looking, hand-made Gift🤣 Oh I'm so glad you asked Heather (I can hear you saying, and would you look at that, Christmas is just round the corner - that's convenient! 😃) Ok, so I think this is a great little Christmas gift for anyone who has pens or pencils (well that's just about covered everyone!)  All you need is a tin - in my case the cats finally came through with something useful, Aldi Cat food tins (managed to wean them off the expensive Whiskars, shhh don't tell them, the cans are the same colour), some cardstock, and some Designer Paper.
