Happy New Year {sorry at bit late LOL}

Afternoon my lovelies……..hope that you are all doing well and had a good Christmas and New Year…….apologies for my absence but I have had the awful lurgy last week and so the crafty workshop door never got opened, let alone me sit at the desk LOL….the most I did last week was a bit of crocheting in front of the telly and trust me that nearly wore me out.  Thankfully though now I have recovered almost to full working order, still got a little tickly cough but other than that I am good.  I worked out the other day when I last had a cold and it was nearly 4 years ago…..so that is not bad going, eh?…….I know I am a rather good when it comes to illness and so its not often I get struck down with much…..she says LOL…….

Anyways I thought that it was about time I fired up the old blog and post something as its been awhile.  I have so many things to share that I never got round to due to illness and Christmas, so I thought that I would start with a card :o) that I made before Christmas………talking of Christmas, I was very very lucky this year as Santa bought me a new camera :oD…….I am now the proud owner of a Nikon DSLR and I am still grinning from ear to ear……I have had an DSLR before, but sadly it died before Christmas and so since then I have been using my iphone, and the pictures weren’t bad, but I could tell the difference, they were just not as crisp…………anyway, I have not took this picture with my new camera, cos its was a card I made before I had it……..but I have been having a play and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it :oD

Enough waffle, here is my card…….I have used one of the older Magnolia images, which you can only get direct from Magnolia…….but I love the image :o)

The papers are by Magnolia too, as is the Star Border and the doohicky die tag.

The Spotty Ribbon is from The Ribbon Girl.  The rose ribbon is from The Hobby House and the butterfly and flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

The border punch is by Martha Stewart.

The image has been coloured using Prismacolor Pencils, blended with Sansodor.

This is one of my fave colour combos, and I love this shape of card too :o)

Well that’s it from me today got to get back on!……..

Anyway, see you all soon!
