Happy New Year!

Hello!

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year! I've been having a bit of a blog holiday ... actually a completely craft free, laze around doing nothing kind of holiday. Yesterday I decided it was high time I get back into a routine of sorts as I'm back at work on Tuesday ... soooooooo I hit my craft room, a pretty good place to start don't you think?

I needed to make a birthday card for the 12th ... I am always behind during January and I've decided that this year I'm going to try to change that. Having not crafted for so long I just couldn't get a decent start, although I did know I was going to use reds (a fave colour of the birthday girl), so I had a little look around blogland and found this CAS card over at Lea's Cupcakes & Sunshine and off I went. It came together really quickly.


What do you think? Simple but I kinda like it. If you'd like a supply list please feel free to give a shout & I'll happily oblige.

I hope you're all enjoying the new year so far. Like a lot of others I didn't mind seeing the back of 2011 and I'm really looking forward to seeing how this year unfolds and embracing what 2012 brings.

Big hugs

  6. Beautiful, Patrice! I hear you on taking a little bit of a blog holiday...well, a holiday from anything productive really (for me). When the kids started back to school again I knew I had to get back into the swing of things!! :) I managed to get my craft room up and running and have spent a couple of days this past week "playing", so I think I'm back in it!

    Thanks for the sweet comment on my blog...I'm ready for a new year full of blessing others with a handmade hello!!
