I'm Back

Well it certainly has been a long time since I last posted.  I've been very busy and haven't had much time to craft for myself.  I have been doing the odd project mostly for the magazines but nothing that I have been able to share with you here.

The last project I did for myself was a card for my mum who celebrated her 90th birthday in January.  I went to CHA in Anaheim so was lucky enough to be able to get away from work and fly up to Canada to spend her birthday with her.

Here is the card I made:

You can check out the details over on the DownUnder Inspirations blog.

I'm doing a little bit of cardmaking today so hopefully I will be back with another post shortly.

Here is my latest card for DownUnder Direct.  I finally managed to get the Bitty Blossoms die and I must say I'm loving making flowers using it.  They are so easy and very effective.
