Sorry I have not posted again for a week but life has given us another kick in the teeth, my brother-in-laws sister collapsed suddenly on Sunday morning, it turned out she had an abscess on her brain, unfortunately it burst and we lost her the following day. She leaves behind a husband and 2 children aged 10 & 17!!
I am not sure what will happen on christmas day now as we had planned a big family christmas again this year, we usually spend christmas and boxing day with this poor family so I am not sure what we will do now, it really breaks my heart, she was only 49!!
I thought I would participate in a couple of challenges to cheer myself up today and I found a fab sketch over at Truly Scrumptious, they also have the option of Pearls, petals and bows, I managed the pearl bit....LOL
Here is my card, yes another baby one, not sure why I keep making them but at the moment I cannot face making christmas cards, just can't get into the spirit!
I thought I would use my very neglected Sizzix die, I cut the elephant out of felt.....sooooo cute!!! He is still available to buy here at Stampeezee
The paper is K & Co Itsy Bitsy and the nestie is Lacey circles available here, the sweet sentiment is by PTI's Baby Button Bits punched out with my SU word window punch
I am also entering my card into A spoonfull of Sugar & Simon says stamp which this week want to see us use our punches and die cuts
