Good luck in your new home

....and not a Christmas card! I missed out on sending a few friends New Home cards and felt really bad about it - so this one is for any of you who moved recently, and it's also going into my box of standby cards. Who knows when things can take a turn so that you don't manage to crawl to the craft room at short notice:
I used:

- 6" x 6" square white card blank

- turquoise Core'dinations backing card

- paper from the Teresa Collins 'Sweet Afternoon' paper pad - I love that these are double sided

- the pre-coloured image is by Little Claire from sheet LCD09

- ribbon from the ribbon box

- sentiment is an Elzybells one, stamped in SU 'Baja Breeze' and punched out with SU's Large Oval punch then popped onto a scalloped oval

Short and sweet today, I finished off all the Christmas card inserts and boxes just gotta write them now - anyone fancy nipping round to help? Thought not :(

  1. Funny you should have posted this up as I have just sorted an image out to make a new home card for a friend who is downsizing to a granny pad. I love your image. Feel a little brighter . My ankles and legs have gone down just me top half left swollen now. Hugs Mrs A.

  3. Very pretty card...and such a sweet image of those bird friends. It will be great to have a card ready and waiting!

    Hope your back is feeling better...my shoulders are much improved but you would have a giggle seeing me sit to watch TV. There is no way I am taking a chance on them flaring up again...so I sit with a down pillow under each arm...

    Now if I could get rid of this stiff neck,, I would be recovered.

    You hace been such a trooper with keeping up your blog and challenges...alll with your back out!!!

    Crafty hugs!
