Happy New Year!!!

Happy new Year to all my dear blogging friends and visitors!!!

I hope you all had an excellent evening last night whether out partying or having a cozy evening with family!

Me and my eldest daughter sat down to do some crafting last night and she set us a challenge of both creating a card each using exactly the same design sheets ( free with a magazine).

I thoroughly enjoyed myself and used something I would never normally have done if crafting on my own.

First i'll show you her sweet card (which she has decided to give to her nan)

She chose the design sheet in one of her favourite colours and added lots of pink stickle, gems and pearls. She even raided my button jar bless her.

I so love how children can put a card together without worrying about composition and colour matching etc.

I think her card is fantastic!  She took great joy in the fact that she finished well before me and then proceeded to sit watching me whilst calling me "the worlds biggest faffer" as i spent ages making mine lol.

On to my card

As you can see I did spend ages "faffing" about with loads of matting and faux stitching etc and the end result is not half as charming as Phoebe's effort.

Here's a close up of the fab Humphrey image - i love the "large" family there are so cute!

And here's a quick side ways view - sorry about the naff photo's guys, santa brought me a fancy new camera but failed to supply any decent instructions :-(

Thanks for visiting me today, I do hope you like my (and Phoebe's ) cards today.

I'll be up in a bit with my DT card for The Cupboard Trilogy so i'll see you soon.

Hugs xx Cara xx
