It seems so long since I last posted -I bet you thought I'd disappeared in a puff of smoke!
I'm finally back from my hollies (for a week now) and I have to say it's taken some settling back down and catching up after having been away for almost 4 weeks. I still haven't got back into crafting properly - what with the good weather and allsorts of goings on since we got back I haven't had the time or the motivation to start up again properly - but I'm getting there - slowly.
We have a great new challenge at
this week and the theme set by our lovely Anne-Marie is
Christmas in July
Here's my card
Using an image supplied by one of our wonderful sponsors this week
Its three penguins from Dilly Beans
available here
We have two wonderful sponsors this week
Dilly Beans Stamps
and
There are some fab prizes up for grabs
and also some wonderful Christmas designs over at Fab'n'Funky challenges - we'd love to see you there!
Here's what I did...
Image - Three penguins from Dilly Beans Stamps

Truly beautiful card. I admire people who can make Christmas cards in summer. I'm not one of them. I don't even want to think of making Christmas card myself before November. Meanwhile I just enjoy what other persons make :)
I hope you had nice holiday.
