HELLO PEEPS!

This is the first card I've made since July.
Christmas cards were bought ones.  I knew I had to make this card especially because it was a special date. The reason why I've not been about is my husband died in October.  I'm grateful that he was able to stay at home with back up from the medical profession.  Grateful too for good friends and family. My MIL still can't believe it's happened. I'm going to try and ease myself back into card making, I've first got to try any remember what I have and how to use it again! Took my five minutes to remember where I stash my signature! and another ten to remember how to get it onto this card!!







These stamps are C.C. Designs.  Julie is the National Membership Officer for the Vikings. So I just had to buy them. Trouble was I wasn't sure which to use?  So I ended up using the set!  Coloured with Copics. Sentiment Computer generated..

    Dear Chrissy,
    What a coincidence, I was just thinking about you and your husband because you posted nothing for a long time.
    Sorry to see that your husband passed away. I can imagine that cardmaking had no priority but I'm glad to see you back in blogland. You're card is lovely!
    Hugs for you,
    Liselot

    Yay!!!! How lovely to see you back Chrissy, i've missed your fabulous cards and your lovely posts!
    I'm sure you'll soon remember how everything works and where it's kept... and crafting is so therapeutic!
    Judging by this gorgeous card you've lost none of your skills...or your sense of humour! Your stamps are adorable and so beautifully coloured, perfect with the sentiment!
    Take care
    hugs

    Ah, so lovely to see you back in blogland Chrissy,
    Crafting is a wonderful way to relax and give you something to focus on... so I hope you can ease back into it and enjoy it again.
    you've made a wonderful card for Julie. Such a fab set of stamps and you've coloured them beautifully.
    Sorry I am not in blogland. Mum has been in hospital twice this month. So I'm having to care for her full time at the moment.
    But just wanted to say welcome back and wish you well ;-)
    Lots of Love, Sue Xxx
