Apologies!!!

I need to apologise... 

I have been quite ill recently - had a whole week off work - 

which is not like me at all. 

So I have completely lost the plot in terms of what day we are on and 

which card I need to blog! 

This little beauty was made for my 95 year old Grandma.

I knew she would love this image:

Jolly Holly Postbox, from Artsi Doodles,

 for our "traditional colours" challenge - for Glitter n Sparkle....

I diecut "grandma"

and coloured and fussy cut around the holly postbox image. 

I paper-pieced one bird and stuck the other on 3d foam, to raise it. 

The holly and berries are also diecut.

I found the ribbon in my stash! 

Finally, i embossed the background with my snowflakes embossing folder. 

Grandma loved it!
