It's been a while...

oh, I know I've been a bad blogger not blogged a make for ages. I have been getting myself in a bit of a tizz because nothing was working - my colouring was lousy & bleeding, everything seemed wonkier than usual - nightmare. So after twisting on to my hubby his advice was to leave things be for a little while and then try again - because all I ever seemed to be doing was faffing on with cards - so I did.

I have slowly got back into it and made a few christmas cards - I thought I'd blog them one at a time - then I have no excuse to hide away again - lol :



I have used a freebie image from Pollycraft coloured with promarkers and some Sakura glitter pens. The papers from a bundle from ebay, with organza ribbon and a greeting tag from stash.

Its quite different to the usual christmas colours - but I am quite pleased with it.

I would like to enter it into the following challenges:

Totally Papercraft - untraditional colours
Creative cottage - untraditional colours.
Simon says stamp - let it snow

It's been snowing here ALL day - so just waiting for hubby to come in from work and its a lovely pan of stew and fresh crusty bread for tea - yum.

Thanks for looking xx

    I love those vibrant colours! Glad to see you back blogging - your DH seems like mine - that's his answer when I get anxious about my crafting. x (infuriating when they're right isn't it?)
