Bad Crafter :-(

Well, I had great plans to craft to my heart's content over the summer holidays but I have to say I haven't really been in the mood so I haven't really done any. What I have done is lots of reading and I've loved it. I have also spent loads of time out and about with my boys as the weather has been pretty reasonable. We are off to beautiful North Wales this morning for 5 days. My boys are very excited. We hope to have lots of fun on the beach and see a couple of castles, visit an old mine and maybe a trip to Anglesey if time allows.

For now I would like to show you a card I made on Saturday (mojo returned for a couple of hours!). I saw this gorgeous image recently on Facebook and absolutely fell in love with it. I bought some tiny corked glass bottles from ebay a few weeks ago and have used my first one on this card, I added sugar to the bottle and it is supposed to resemble snow. I also added some cute jingle bells. What do you think...?

 Close up of the little bottle...
 Jingle bells, jingle bells...
Close up of the sparkle...


Supplies:
Image - Igloo from Mo's Digital Pencil coloured with Promarkers & Flexmarkers
Papers - Nordic Christmas by First Edition, just adore this paper
Ribbon - Happy Christmas Heart from Crafty Ribbons

Bells, pearls, buttons & flowers - stash
Other - Memory Box Precious Mittens die, Memory Box Lindeman Snowflake die, Oval & scallop oval Nestabilities dies, Star Dust Stickles, kraft card, brown chalk inkpad

lots of love,

    Fabulous card Sarah! Just remember it's not necessarily the quantity of the crafting it's the quality & you've got that in spades:-).
    Hope you have a lovely time away - the weather is forecast to be good. xx

    Gorgeous card more than makes up for not being very crafty over the holidays it's no fun when you make yourself do it.
