Hi Everyone
So how is the snow doing with you?
We had a bit of snow last Friday .. .. which stuck around and has never disappeared. Last night we had a new sprinkling to freshen up that which was still around from Friday and this morning we keep getting flurries but they don't last long. I bet there are a lot of you out there in blogland that would be happy to swap with us. It sounds horrendous in some parts!! Be careful everyone!
Having said that our weather forecast sounds very bad with a severe weather warning for Derbyshire. At least 5cms by 10.00am tomorrow with as much as 15cm in some parts - and then more snow on top of that tomorrow!! Eeekkk!!!
The UK will be at stand-still soon. We never seem to cope with snow very well do we. I hope hubby is at home with me when everywhere closes down!! LOL!!
Anyway get to the crafting woman and stop babbling.
An early share today .. .. .. back to a Christmas card LOL!!! I liked the look of the sketch over at Friday Sketchers so decided to give this a go .. .. .. and here is the result.
This used:
Image: Stampavie "GR003" - Mistletoe and Mice
Image: Stampavie "GR003" - Mistletoe and Mice
Backing Papers: All Pink Petticoat
Fiskars Punch: Threading Water
Stardust Stickles
Eylets and ribbon from the stash box
Here is the sketch for following.
I am such a funny thing .. .. I really loved the look of this sketch and the great inspiration pieces given by the DT but when it came to the crunch I struggled in sticking my image at an angle!! Aren't I strange (don't all reply at once) .. .. I always put everything square and balanced on my cards. Who would have thought an image at a jaunty angle could make me feel that uncomfortable?
Someone once told me that if there is something you don't like doing you need to keep doing it until you are comfortable with it .. .. mmm .. .. .. not sure I agree with that!! But I will try to be a bit "less square" in the future LOL!!
Have a good day and evening and I will be back tomorrow with the launch of two new challenges. Get Funky! and Penny Black at Allsorts.
There are lots and lots of super new things being planned over at Funky Hand .. .. as a DT we are a mega excited bunch .. .. just not sure whether Anice is spilling the beans tomorrow or not. We will have to wait and see.
Stay safe everyone.
Love

I completely know what you mean about putting things straight on your cards - I feel uncomfortable not doing so too!!!

This is a cutie! I'm sorry I have been MIA. And I'm sorry your craft fair didn't turn out as well as it might have done had the weather been better. On the upside - you have made some absolutely beautiful cards and you've given me lots of inspiration! And...one last thing...yes, my Mum will probably say it's too nice to use! Hugs, Lesley
