Winter ...

Hello there ...
It's a cold snowy day here and Spring seems a long way off ... 

Earlier this week I heard from a dear friend to say her father had passed away ... my friend and I met on my first day of preschool ...  a long long time ago ... her little sister joined us some years later and we have kept in touch all these years ... 
Their Dad was a lovely man and very much loved by his girls ... But I know he will be with their Mum now and that will give them some comfort ...

I used the La Blanche stamp again to make a card for each of the girls - unfortunately the weather conditions make photographing such hard work ... Not enough light anywhere in my home


I stamped one in Fabrico Ultra Marine ink and one in PTI Ocean Tides ink and added some glitter


... I also stamped some left over card in the same colours and cut out butterflies with a PTI die


I guess the upside of this weather is that I get to spend more time in my craft room using up those bits and pieces ... Sometimes I think it would just be nice to hibernate till Spring comes along ...

I hope you have a lovely weekend ... I have no plans as yet but if the roads are not to bad I guess DH and I will take a trip out ... maybe a little retail therapy to chase away the winter blues 

Take care

Till soon
