A MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE IN BLOGLAND X X X

Hi Everyone,

It's been a few months since I was here.  I have missed seeing all your wonderful creations, but family commitments have unfortunately kept me away.  Anyway, I hope that in the new year I will have more time to spend on here.

I also have a new grandaughter....Grace Mia, born on 7th November, weighing 6lb 1/2 oz. She is adorable!! 

I haven't stopped crafting, haven't bought any christmas cards this year.....I made them all myself!!..which is something of an achievement in itself!  And now that christmas is upon us, I have made a start on my January birthday cards! 

This card is for my grandaughter.....I used a digital image from Tiddlyinks, 'warm wishes'. I have been trying to improve my colouring skills and have found some great tutorials from the 'Colour me copic Club' on youtube.
It's an 8inch square card, oval nesties for the image,  and I decorated the mats with a martha stewart corner punch.The image coloured with copics, and added some sparkle to the little muff, collar and boot tops.
The little flowers were made using tonic punches and decorated with some gems from my stash.

I hope you all have a Wonderful Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year.
