Happy New Year.....

What a bad blogger I am.....and can someone tell me where December whet!!!  It came, we enjoyed and then it went again!  It was such a busy month with the school Christmas Fayre, the Christmas play and generally getting prepared for the big day....

Back to crafting in general, I have lost any inspiration I had and so I am struggling at the moment but I'm sure normal service will be resumed shortly!!

It was my friends birthday on Christmas Eve but she has a problem with anyone giving her winter themed presents or cards so I went for a really spring like card.....

Actually this is one is the one made for my niece who was 16 at the end of November but my friends was pretty similar.

I have stamped the butterflies with versamark using to Papillion Potpourri set and heat embossed them, then punched them out using the matching punch, elegant butterfly.  The papers are from the Floral Districe set which are summery and pretty.  The base card was spritzed using my favourite tool, the spritzer (seem to be using on most things lately!)

Anyway, I will aim to be a better blogger from now on, sorry.  I wish you all a very Happy New Year, I hope 2013 is good to each and everyone of you and I'm looking forward to sharing another year of lovely crafting together.

Thanks for your patience and for stopping by,
Take care

Lets try again....

I have had a bit of advice on what I am doing wrong with my photos so here's hoping this works.......

This card was for my niece who turned 16 over the weekend.  I bought this stamp set and punch after seeing lots of blogs and posts on pinterest, it really is a lovely set and I have used it quite a bit since getting it!

Yay......it worked! I am back in business (as they say!) I am so untechnical and feel very foolish at my ignorance but I am getting there....slowly.

I have clear embossed the three butterflies and punched them out, then I really like double mounting them.  I do think this card is quite girly but quite grown up too....I'm sure she liked it!  I wasn't able to see her on her special day as we had no heating, hot water or electric so had to wait in for various men!!!

Anyway, I have card club tomorrow and we are making some Christmas gifts so looking forward to spreading some Christmas cheer....will share with you asap x
