Thinking of You

Hello again my crafty (and non crafty) friends. 
It still feels great to be back crafting again. Almost every waking minute spent thinking/planning/shopping craft lol.
That is when I'm not organising house repairs! (I'm on my second this week as I write). 

So without further ado, onto todays card.

Home is where the heart is

Well hello there! It has been such a long time since my last post. It has been the Mother of all moves and I swear I will NOT be moving again untill I'm carried out in a box.
There has been so much more to do in this house than we anticipated, all of which has taken much longer than it should due to me sustaining 2 injuries to the same knee! There's still quite a bit left to do but I have abandoned any further renovations or decorating (for the time being) in favour of crafting 😉.
So, on the theme of new homes, here is my first make.






The supplies used here are 
* Spellbinders floral assortment 
* Spellbinders fleur de lis squares 
* Crafters companion sentimentals vintage floral phrases 
* Sue Wilson/ Creative Expressions Perfect Peonies 
* Cheery Lynn tea roses leaves only
* Cheery Lynn flourish leaf strip 
* Joy crafts decorative chalks pearl
* Distress ink pumice stone
* Stamens and pearls from my stash 

I had real difficulty getting a good photo. The grey card stock is definitely much lighter than it looks in the pictures. I resorted to having to take my pics in the garden! I bet my new neighbours think I'm a real odd ball lol. 

I apologise for my lengthy absence from posting. I shall endeavour to post once a week for the time being, usually on a Saturday. 

I hope you like my first make post-move.
Thank you for your visit and please stop by again next week.
