And this is where I found Lou Mills’ cheerful quirky greeting cards.  I was very taken by her designs and so I decided to find out about the lady behind them.

Before I tell you more though, here are some examples of her cards featuring flowers.

This is Lou’s story so far…

One Christmas, as she was a little strapped for cash, she decided to make her own Christmas cards (designs which she still sells – her Jingle Bells range).… Read more
