Happy New year

Hello Everypeeps and Happy New Year to you all! Hope you all made very Merry over the festives. Been back at work for a week now....and I'm ready for another holiday. Had a few cards to make this week, two for a 40th for a lad at work and some other bits and pieces so can safely say I'm into the swing of that again too! Might even get round to sorting out a challenge card or two this week if things quieten down! lol.

Can't really give recipes for these cards as the bits are from everywhere!! Included in that are my old faithful cd's. Some backing papers from PM ranges. Shapes cut with Nesties in Big Shot and also some Martha Stewart PATP punches. Also used a couple of the toppers from the Me To You Mix and Match Range. They are £1 each at the Range but they have them on 3 for 2 at the moment!.
