Hi everyone!!!
Oh, boy, I haven't disappeared off the face of the earth, I've just lost my mojo for cards and blogging and enjoyed the lovely summer weather we've had over the last few months!!!! I hope that you all had a fantastic festive season and that the new year is treating you well!!! I wish you all a great 2017!!!!
I had a craft stall at a local church, during December and I'm happy to say that I'm quite pleased with how it went!!!!! I didn't sell as much as I hoped for, but apparently everyone's sales were less than previous years, so I'm happy with my sales!!!! I've sold quite a lot of cards and that makes me very happy!!!! I think I will do it again this year!!!!
And then I want to apologize to all my friends for not commenting on cards for such a long time!!!! I follow so many blogs at this stage that it is really becoming a great thing to keep up with commenting!!!!! When it happens that I miss a day or two it is already such a big thing to get to everybody, that I often just not have the time to catch up and very soon it is just impossible to get to everyone without having to spend hours and hours at the computer!!!! I really hope to work out a way to keep up to date with commenting and not falling behind so often this year - maybe that's a good new year's resolution, hey!!!! Some friends also had their birthdays some weeks ago and I will be having something in the mail for you shortly!!!!
I had a look at the current sketch at the CAS(E) this Sketch Blog last night and I decided that it's about time that I make a card and take part in a challenge again!!!!! This is the sketch:
and my card:
Stamped some Altenew flowers in black on the card base. The dark panel is grey and I sponged it with Brilliance Dew Drop, Moonlight White, ink which I also used for the stamping. Added a silver glitter panel for some sparkle.
Sentiment stamp from a local craft shop, Great Impressions.
OK, I'll be off - my son is leaving on an action cricket weekend, this afternoon and I have to get his stuff ready!!!
Thank you so much for visiting - I have really missed you all so much over the last few months and I will be popping in at blogs and leaving some luv shortly!!!!
Have a wonderful day!!!!
