Merry and Bright

Hello all hope you are well and having a good week so far, I am not feeling well today, got awful headache sore throat and generally feeling yuk.

Firstly I would just like to share with you a picture of Caton, he is doing so well and now weighs 6lb 7oz, today he is having his jabs, I really feel for him he seems to small to be having them just yet.

I thought I would share a card with you I have made from the Traditional Christmas from Crafters Companion,
I have used some Centural pearl for my main card, Embossalicious Star of Wonder folder and embossed onto Centura pearl, I have used gold mirri for matting and layering, a gorgeous image from the card collection, Die'sire dies I have used are Snowflake, Ivy and Christmas Tree and finished off with a sentimental s sentiment.

The Challenges I would like to enter my card into are:-

Kraftyhands Craft Nouveau

Hello all hope you are all keeping well, I am really sorry for not being around, Caton is doing really well he is home now and weighs 5lb, also my Dad passed away on the 9th October, I know he's gone to a better place and he's not suffering now, he would not want to live the life he was leading.

With everything that's happened I did not get the chance to tell you I was accepted on the Kraftyhands DT, I feel privileged to be on the team, I want to share the samples I did with their latest CD Craft Nouveau for their latest Create and Craft shows

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and thank you for stopping by.
