I'm back!

Well, hello!

Long time, no blog...

Such a lot has been happening with us these last few months -

feels like we have been in the middle of a whirlwind!

To cut a long story short, we have moved house.

 For many reasons.

It has been a very stressful time.

BUT... we are now so much happier!

We are at the point where we feel like we are now home,

and our 2 cats have just started playing out - and LOVING the new back garden!

AND I have been able to make a card!

Finally!

Yey!

I really enjoyed it - although the craft stuff is not totally unpacked yet... 

I still have ...um... 10 underbed boxes left to unpack in here!

But I have got enough stuff out to start creating again. 

Happy.  :)

(AND I have my very own little craft room,

which I don't need to share with anything / anyone else.)

So - here goes. The first card I have made in our new place..

This is for Patties Creations November challenge - "Birthdays"

The lovely image is called "black eyed susans" 

and I just love the simplicity and delicacy of this image.

I coloured it carefully, with my promarkers and popped it on foam pads

(after fussy cutting around it).

The frame behind the flower is diecut and embossed

and the sentiment was a freebie I found at Desert Divas.
