Too busy to post

I know that it might seem to be old hat but I really have been too busy to post lately. I have done the Creative stitches show at the CIA and hot on the heels of that my daughter arrived with my new grand daughter, They stayed for a week and that did not leave me wit time for anything else.
I now have time to breath so I can enter my latest project. It's a Christmas card. The one that all of my nearest and dearest are going to get this Christmas. I hope that you like it. It was inspired by a card that I saw in Cards Beautiful this month. By the way that is my favourite magazine.






My very latest interest is making gift bags for Christmas and I must say that I am pleased with my first attempts. Have a look at this Snowman Bag and let me know what you think. I made the bag myself but the method is fairly complicated to write out so I will take photos and then explain it.
I decorated the bag with a Sizzix snowman die cut that I layered up to give him a little interest. I shaded the snowman with pearlescent chalks.
