Hi Everyone
Happy New Year! I hope that it is going to be a happy and super crafty one for everyone.
No super rash promises/resolutions from this end .. .. for the first time ever .. .. because I know this year is going to be super chaotic before I even get start on it. Mainly down to Mr Heart who is taking early retirement at the end of March .. .. and I get the feeling that my life is about to change big time.

I hope you all had a wonderful and happy Christmastime. Did anyone else give themselves blisters by needing to chop far too many vegetables?
Christmas in the house of hearts was lovely, with my little nest nice and full again as all the family came home .. .. just for a while. But now they have all flown away again. Boo hoo!!
But I suppose all good things must come to an end .. .. and soon I will be back into the old routine for just a few weeks, before retirement chaos hits .. .. but not until all those sheets and towels have been laundered and I get my crafty pod back into some sense of tidiness.
Just a quick birthday card to share today that was put together on the dining room table because I couldn't get to the desk or my sewing machine in the craft pod .. .. ..
This used:
Sizzix Thinlits Die Set "664163" Wildflower Stems #1
Paper Smooches Wise Dies "FBD120" Birthday Words
Make & Create Paper Pad "Sweet Colours"
Distress Oxide Ink Pads: Frayed Burlap, Worn Lipstick and Festive Berries

The lovely Sizzix Die Set was delivered by Santa and I have been itching to cut and colour it all Christmas. Today I finally got the chance.
Happy new year wishes .. .. ..

Oh I love this!...that dark blue background really sets off your lovely flower. You are one dedicated crafter Jules! xx
Beautiful die sets Jules the papers complement the colours you used for the flowers percectly
Beautiful elegant card. Happy New Year to you. Hugs Anesha
Such a pretty card Jules, I love the contrast of the pale pink flower and dark blue bakground - a super sentiment, a great font.
Things will certainly be different when Mr H retires but you will soon settle into your new life together - it was the best thing my Husband ever did and his early retirement was not planned, it was an opportunity that was too good to miss.
Wishing you a happy, healthy and crafty New Year.

Happy New Year, Jules!
Stunning card, I love the colours and the flower is just fabulous. xx
A very Happy New Year to you too Julie. A really great card, super dies, especially the sentiment one, don't often see those. Great background borders, like the choice of black and white.
Good Luck on Hubby's retirement, First words in the morning could be "What are we doing today"?
I am just going to pop to ?????? Oh right "I'll come with you"
Where ever we go "I'll drive"
I could go on but.....
