Have you all had a good week ? We have been lucky to escape the heavy snowfall that a lot of Scotland has been getting - we only had about an inch, but it has been bitterly cold. Last saturday was quite pleasant and l managed to get out in the garden to do a bit of tidying up - no chance of that this weekend so l will have some time in my craft room playing :)

If you have been struggling to post comments recently please read advice over on the challenge blog to speed things up a bit.
Hope to see you over on the challenge x Susan x

This week l have seen the first sign that spring is on it's way with a few daffodil noses poking through the frozen ground. It is a good dry but breezy day and not a bit of frost today - yesterday was very white everywhere with a severe frost. I love looking closely at the frost and seeing how it has formed it is so pretty. So l guess today's card is quite fitting with snowflakes - a few customers yesterday said we are due more snow.
Hope to see you over on the challenge x Susan x

As soon as l saw this gorgeous stamp my sister sprang to mind as when she was a little girl she had a mass of tight curls - this will be her birthday card, she has never seen my blog so no chance of her seeing this. I loved colouring this and have only used 'E' copic colours for this subtle effect.

Thank you for stopping by and for your comments - Hope to see you over on the challenge x Susan x

My project today was not what l had planned but this evolved over the last couple of days. A lovely friend is to become a Grandma this weekend, when Mum to be is induced. These days they like to know if it is a boy or girl - none of that in my day - Olivia Rose will be making an entrance into the world then this can go in the post. Hopefully everything will go well and they don't change the name.

Hope to see you over on the challenge x Susan x
