Welcome back to my wee bit of blogland. I hope you're all doing well this week. Its turned much more like spring here in Scotland although its still very cold at nights. My daffodils are starting to bloom. As long as Teddy and the ball dont go near them and knock the heads off!!!!
I was making a card for a friends birthday and decided to try and push my comfort zone with this sketch. It did have me muttering under my breath. I love how the card turned out though. I had a HUGE cull of papers and am left with only "good" ones. So its a joy every time I make something. Although I am a bit loathed to cut them!!!!

A5 Card
Stampin Up Papers.
Sentiment and Gold Dots - Craftwork Cards.
Faux Stitching - Black Posca Pen.
Im hoping to try and make at least 1 Christmas card a month now till December. I really dont want to end up doing them like I did last year in a rush and not enjoying myself. Mind you we are coming up to birthday season here!!!! Also its going to be fence painting season too. The last of the bad winter storms knocked all my fence down so the new one is up now. Its gonna take a while to paint it all.
Love and Sparkles,
Hazel xx
