Good evening folks.
Just having a quiet time after I took my Daughter and Grandson to the station for their journey home.
We baby sat last night while Nich and Joe went to see Bill Bailey in Manchester. It was lovely to have Ben stay over but it's also good to have some quiet time to myself.
First off I have a little trumpet blowing.
A few month's ago I submitted a card to Craft Stamper Magazine and they wanted to publish it. I was over the moon and it's seemed like years since I sent it off to be photographed but it is now out there in print!
I haven't got my copy yet but my friend Monika spotted it and let me know.
In the same December issue there are 5 other cards from fellow teamies at STAMPlorations. Looks like a bit of a takeover!
Anyway enough trumpet blowing.
Here is a card I made for a few challenges around at the moment.
The wreath is a Woodware stamp that I stamped on the base card before trimming it with buttons and bows, sequins, Stickles and the odd bit of bling. I've made this in various colourways over the years, such a versatile stamp. It also uses some of the buttons my friend Di bought me as a pressie.
I'd like to join in over at:-
Christmas with the optional twist of "use pink and/or purple"
Christmas
Thanks for popping by. :)
