Gotta start somewhere!

Yay, I have started a new blog :).  I have been meaning to for a little while but hadn't got round to it however having been inspired by the very talented Kathy and her lovely blog and having discovered the Winter Wonderland Challenge Blog through it which helps you 'take the stress & strain out of Christmas' by setting weekly craft challenges so that by Christmas you should have a whole pile of handmade cards ready to send, I thought this was a really great idea and decided to have a go (would have been better if I had started earlier but ho hum!).

This week's challenge was a to take inspiration from a photo that included purple/lilac baubles and sparkly christmas tree branches.  When I was looking through my stamps to see what I could possibly use I came across this lovely stamp from Penny Black and ir seemed perfect.  The paper was more challenging as I am not a big 'purple' fan but found this in amongst my stash and it seemed to work.  So I have taken my inspiration from the colour, the baubles and the sparkle. 

I hope you like it and thank you for looking.
