Friday Sketchers…Sugar Nellie DT card…

Good Morning…oh it’s so nice to be back.  Thanks to everyone who sent me messages asking if I was OK and where I was…it was really kind of you to think of me.  I’ve just been busy with family life over the past few weeks and not had time to blog or make cards.  Thanks, too, to all my DT buddies and also to Sugar Nellie and Quixotic Paperie for their understanding about my absence from blogging world.  I really hope to get back into the swing of things next week.

My card is made with one of the lovely Country Cousins stamps from Sugar Nellie.  This stamp is called Winter Wonderland and is one of  four new Christmas stamps available from Funky Kits.  I’m the host over at Friday Sketchers today…and I’ve used my sketch for this card.  The bling swirl is made with a Bazzill Basics Jewel Template and Bazzill adhesive gems – both from Quixotic Paperie…who happen to be sponsoring Friday Sketchers with a £10.00 online shopping voucher…wonderful prize Elaine…thanks!
