BACK TO NORMAL POSTING WITH A SNIPPET MAKE

Hi Everyone

Well after all the fun of the Christmas Quiz I am back to normal makes and postings and I decided my first port of call should be the Snippet Playground .. .. as I have been absent for two weeks without any letter from my Mum!!!!

Di won't be impressed.

So here is my first snippet share of 2013.





As it isn't Sunday I am not allowed to be lazy so here is what I used:

Backing Papers:  GCD Studios "Soul Food"
Sentiment:  Hobby Art "CS016D" General Greetings
Marianne Design Creatables Die:  Butterfly 3
Crafty Notions:  Double Sided Adhesive Sheet 
Lakeland Fine Glitter (from the days when they used to have a yummy craft section)
My Crafty Sewing Machine
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Ribbon from the Stash Box

The butterfly is based on the same idea I used on this Christmas card here. But this time I didn't remove the second layer of protective backing from the adhesive sheet and simply glued the body down with strong glue.

I tried to layer the glitter colours across the butterfly but unfortunately some of it has strayed into areas it shouldn't have .. .. but never mind.  I like it anyway.

So a quick catch up from the House of Hearts .. .. the London Kids headed off at 3.30am this morning.  So I got up at 3.15am to grab one more hug (because I could), to wave them off and grab a few more things to put into their "to last you until you get your shopping in" bags.

I decided at that point I might as well put a load of washing in and then return to bed .. .. only to find that once there I couldn't get back to sleep.  So I'm not sure how long I am going to be able to stay awake this evening !!!!!  My eyes are nearly shut now LOL!!!

Hopefully I can be awake long enough to have a little womble around blogland later on as I have missed so much over the Christmas/New Year break but I have been super good and got my accounts bang up to date.

New Years Resolution (well one of them) .. .. do my accounts when my bank statement arrives!!!.

Catch you soon

Love

    Happy New Year Jules, hope 2013 is a good'un in the house of hearts.

    Love your snippet card and so glad it wasn't a Sunday so l could get the low down on what you used lol. The wings on the butterfly are stunning, thanks for the technique info, will certainly give it a try.

    Hope you are still awake and if not, tucked up nice and warm :).

    Take care, big hugs xx
