Our challenge this week is entitled "Punch it" you can interpret this which ever way you would like! I have used one of my favourite Martha Stewart Punches. Not my usual style, but im trying to get back to basics and use simpler lines.
Yet another new years resolution was to use up all the papers and embelishments that i have stored up for that "special occasion". Im sure you all know what i mean!!! trouble is that occasion never happens, and so i feel i should clear the paths, so i can buy myself new "special occasion" stash!
Now i have recently refound Facebook, and when my internet connection allows, ive been spending my spare hours chatting to my lovely blogging friends. Why havn't i got into this more before now i ask myself? just as well according to my husband as the housework has been somewhat neglected. Unfortunately i am suffering with bad internet connection something that intermitently burdens me. I had hardly any connection over the weekend or yesterday, and today is not much better. I have tried to load my CCC card for the last half an hour but it keeps saying "can't connect to blogger" consequently i am rambling on to you lovely people. Dont blame me blame blogger for the nonsence you are reading!!!
Right, lets have another try, here is my card for this weeks challenge.
Finally, after the hundredth attempt its uploaded the photo, i can leave you in peace now, will be back later in the week with some cards i made over a week ago! have a lovely day, look forward to visiting you all hugs Linda x

WOW! This is AMAZING Linda. I think your mojo came back when you weren't looking. It's good to 'go back to basics' now and again and you've made such an elegant creation through doing that.
Hope you're having a good week hunni.

Hi!
Long time no read! LOL!
I haven't crafted in a while as I have been needed at my mum's for some time.
We never did meet for a coffee- maybe this summer, huh?
If my partner mentioned the housework to me, I'd remind him where the dusters were kept and tell him to get dusting! LOL!
Simple? I think not! This is a gorgeous card as always! Don't feel bad about your creativity going away for awhile, I think we've all been having that problem lately. After the holidays we are all just tired out so it's understandable that you're having the same problem, it'll come back full strength really soon, wait & see!
Talk to ya soon!
~Hugs~
