Happy New Year!

Hello Everyone

I hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed seeing in the New Year?

I have just realised that I didn't manage a post at all in December - indicative with how busy everything is that month I suppose but anyway, here trying to do better, I have a couple of cards to share with you.

They are both using the same 'Surprise' stamp from Lili of the Valley which was one of my purchases in the sale they had at the beginning of December.  I have two mens birthdays on the 9th December; my father-in-law and my uncle and I thought this image would suit a man perfectly.

This first card required posting and, as is my want, I had left it until the last minute so didn't have time to add any glitter to the icing.  The second one had some glitter added which I think really lifts the image.  The papers I have used are all old scraps I found in my stash.  The sentiment stamps were also new purchases from Lili of the Valley (keep telling myself I don't need any more stamps but just couldn't resist!) and they are Grunge Ticket, Grunge Words for Ticket and Greetings Postmark - all of which I can see myself using over and over again.  Both images were coloured with my Promarkers.

I hope you have a really enjoyable day.

Happy Crafting!
