Where does the time go?? I got back from my hols and have not stopped working since...the days and weeks have all blended into one...I have managed to make a few cards along the way but never have time to take the pics of them to show you all....
Sooo I have a card to show you all....NOT a christmas one either, its one I have made for an order and have just delivered it and she was chuffed to bits with it...I have followed the ICS sketch its an easy one for me to get back into the swing of things I think...

Background papers are Kate Knight Amethyst Floral Prints from Dovecraft...
Sentiment was made on the puter...
All other bits and bobs are from my stash...
