Winter Blues

A big hello to you and thank you for coming! I think things are gradually getting back to normal.  We have now taken all the decorations and trees down, it took two nights and everything looks very bare and big now! I had a wonderful Christmas my daughter, her partner and Rowan stayed over Christmas for three nights so it was lovely to have them.  Rowan is now crawling everywhere and standing up with the furniture, I can't believe he will be 9 months on Friday!  Then my son and two grandsons came up for New Year and I looked after them for a few nights whilst Dad and Mum went off - great fun!  Everything seems very quiet now although my daughter and Rowan are coming over today.

Over at The Paper Shelter we have our first challenge for 2015 and the theme is Winter Blues.  We want to see shades of blue so here is what I did:

I used the little lady from Give Me A Kiss available here.  She actually comes with a little man but I just used her and I used the pre-coloured one too.  My card was made using Go Kreate XXL Frilly Frames 10 and the papers are First Edition Up Up and Away.  La La Land Banner, Spellbinders Tear Drop Circle (think that's what its called), Dienamics Pierced Circle, Sue Wilson Bows made with felt, Cheery Lynn tag and Clearly Besotted sentiment.

As usual there is a fabulous prize for the lucky winner:

Please head over to The Paper Shelter Blog to see the rest of the DT's designs and all the details on the challenge.

Have you made any New Year Resolutions?  I don't make any as I know they would only get broken but I do want to try and get more me crafting in.  I am not on as many DTs now as a few have closed and I have left a few more to give me more crafting time.  I have been quite busy doing some magazine commissions so they have taken a lot of time but I will finish those this week then have more time to craft, well that's the plan! 

Thank you so much for looking and your continued support, it means a lot.
