Happy New Year and I am back crafting again...

Happy New Year!

Yes I am back... do not fall out of your chair!

 

Apologies for my lack of blogging last year... I had some health issues which combined with work, family and a basic lack of crafting mojo resulted in me closing the door on my craft area for awhile.

 

 

Anyway, enough chit-chat because that is NOT why you are visiting me...

 

Anyone for Anya Card Challenges has now gone monthly and you can use ANY stamped images to participate.

 

The new challenge will be posted on the first Sunday of the month. 

 

 The challenge for JANUARY is to use corrugated cardboard.

 

Here is my card using Wild Sprout Logan. I coloured him using Copic markers. The sentiment is from Paper Smooches.

 

 

 

Thanks to my BFF Sam for the corrugated cardboard and welcome back to the AFA design team!

 

 

There are heaps of awesome prizes too, so tell your friends!

 

A digital image from CC Designs

5 digital stamps from Whimsy Stamps

I am back after 3 weeks of no Internet service after a storm knocked out our home phone and Internet. It has been an especially frustrating time, particularly for my husband who had to deal with many incompetent phone company representatives!
