MAKE A WISH

Hi Everyone

Happy Wednesday!

I hope you are all well and recovering from all those celebrations.

We arrived back home Monday afternoon after spending Christmas/New Year with the London Kids and our youngest Son.  All the family together .. .. yay!!!

So now it is time to start getting my head around all that needs to be done now I am home again.

I don't know about you but I do love the feeling of calm once things start to settle down again.  It makes me feel like I have lots of time on my hands .. .. which of course is never true!  This then leads to me making plans and promises in my head as to what I want to achieve in the coming year.  

Anyway, what better way to start my blog posting for 2018 than using one of the new sketches I added to my library over the Christmas break.  

So here we go:




This used:

Image:  Penny Black "4082H" To Cake Moment
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat (sorry no longer available)
Backing Papers:  Papermania "Exquisite" Paper Collection (very old)
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
ProMarkers
My Trusty Sewing Machine 
Iridescent Cord
Sketch Number "Thirty Seven" from my little sketch library


So here we are three days into the sparkly new year and already I have broken one of my new year resolutions.  I vowed to be in bed before midnight throughout the week .. .. so what time did I fall into bed last night .. .. 1.30am .. .. and it wasn't even as if I had fallen asleep on the settee!!

But I have worked on another of my resolutions which is to use up some of the half used paper stacks I have.  Today's card used a bit of one such paper pad and others have started disappearing by being used to make small envelopes for my teeny, tiny cards.

Oh well .. .. one broken and one worked on so that makes things even LOL!!!

Catch you again soon.

    An adorable little hedgie and the layout is great for using up paper pad remnants - I have a 'few' (who am I kidding 'lots' more like it)

    Good morning and welcome home! So glad you had a good Christmas and New year. No doubt it seems ages ago now. I love your card, the colours are so soft and gentle and of course a penny Black image...so cute as they all are.I must remember your library of sketches when inspiration is avoiding me. I've made intentions this year...not resolutions...lol! Ask me this time next year if I managed to carry any out! Hugs xx

    Hi Jules. Fab to see ŷou blogging. I love this sketch and what you've done with it. Great card my friend. Glad you had a good Christmas. I survived Christmas but unfortunately have been feeling a bit strange for the last few days...probably overdone It I think. I've had a good rest today so feeling a bit more human this evening. Onwards and upwards hey. Lovely to see you anyway xxx
