Its Been A While!

 Hello, Its been a long time since I last blogged, nearly a year in fact, I am going to try and do better.  Sorry I haven't been visiting your blogs either, again, I will try and do much better with that too!

I have a card today that is for a really good friend's 70th birthday. Jean's birthday isn't till Sunday but she doesn't use the Internet so no fear of her seeing this before then.  



The stamps are all Crafty Individuals, the number die is Sizzix, the circle die is The Works, the banner die is Elizabeth Crafts, the main lattice die is Positively Papercraft and the technique I used for the main image was from Ann at Positively Papercraft's YouTube channel.  She has some amazing ideas.  The inks are Versafine Clair and I chose colours that Jean likes.  The circle, numbers and banner are all snippets of card.  

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Snippets Playground - use Snippets - mine are the numbers, circle and banner.
Allsorts Challenge - Summertime.
We Love Stamping - fabulous floral.
Stamping Sensations - summer flowers.

Thank you so much for visiting me!  It feels very good to be blogging again.  I hope I manage to keep it up!  Fingers crossed. 

Take care and have a good week. Hugs Chris xxx💖💖💖
