Yes, the chaos has finally receded enough, children have been packed off back to school (even if I did get the wrong day!) and I am back in the world of crafting. I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year, we certainly did. Lots of games and giggles
Of course, I have been reflecting on my crafty resolutions for 2016. Really I want to continue in the same vein as last year. So I'm going with:
- Use up more of my existing stash.
- Only buy essential items (adhesives, cards, envelopes etc).
- Improve my one layer cards.
- Experiment with shaped cards.
- Send Birthday cards!! (Cobblers children syndrome!).
- Leave comments as often as I can.
- Create more Christmas cards throughout the year.
So my first blogged card of 2016:
It uses some retired S.U. paper & my very oldest S.U. stamps.
I was inspired by the following challenges:
Thank you so much for dropping by, I will be around to visit soon

P.S. I hate gloomy weather. It took 4938 attempts to get an acceptable photo of this card!

Well Abi you're very brave to publish your resolutions - I don't make any, so I can't break'em (chicken's way out!). I know you did really well last year with using what you already have and resisting the temptation to buy more stash...so good luck with these!
You've made a great start with this beautiful card, lovely stamp and fab design.
