BACK TO BUSINESS

Hi Everyone

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.

Mine was lovely with my family all around me .. .. what more could you ask for? 

But sadly all good things have to come to an end and one by one everyone has now disappeared so the nest is back to two occupants now .. .. .. and the dining room table has quickly become covered with wedding stationery makes.  

I allowed myself a few days off (and even managed to watch two films without falling asleep) but now it is time to pull my finger out and get back to it.

So here is my share of the day:





This used:

Backing Papers:  Funky Hand "Happy, Happy Birthday"
Sentiment:  Great Impressions "E411"
Sizzix Dies:  "656079" Flower Layers #5  and  "655217" Decorative Accent, Swirl
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder:  Swiss Dots
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
My Trust Sewing Machine
Ribbons from the Stash Box

and whilst talking of Funky Hand .. .. just to let you know there is a massive sale on over there until the 29th December with

a massive 50% off all Funky Hand products

and 10% off all non Funky hand products



oh dear .. far too many good sales going on at the moment!!

But if you are looking for something that costs nothing then don't forget the Handy Hippo Promarker giveaway here.

Right .. .. time to get back to the wedding work .. .. but I didn't want you all to think I had fallen off the face of the earth.

I have a lovely blogland catch up planned for tonight .. .. I feel like I will have missed so much .. .. but deep down I am hoping everyone has just taken the chance to have as relaxing a time of things as I have.  It feels so good to have charged up those old batteries!!

Catch you later.

Love

    This is super cute! Is there anything specific it is used for? I'm thinking about turning my old cork board into looking something like this for my boys room.

    Hi Jules
    Glad to hear you had a lovely Christmas. I can not believe how quickly it went. My hubby had 2 weeks off work and by the time he started relaxing a bit he had to go back working. Loving your card! I have to try some stitching on cards myself it gives it really great touch.

    Lovely card, Jules. I like the strong shades of pink and the combination of ribbons is gorgeous. I really must track down some nail heads sometime - I promise myself that after every time I see you've used them :))Good to hear you relaxed a bit and took time off for a wee while over the holiday ... it does you good.
