Good morning. Today I have my DT card for the challenge over on Totally Gorjuss, which is monochrome. Now I have always assumed this meant black and white but the lovely girls over at TG explained that it is actually shades of one colour, so with this in mind how could I resist using my favourite colour 'pink'. I have used one of the new love Miss Anya's and some of my new Basic Grey Bittersweet papers, I love them and you will probably be subjected to them for weeks and weeks now .. sorry! Well if you have a minute pop over to the blog and have a look at all the other girls cards, they are fantastic and join in the fun! I am also entering this card into challenge 121 over on Mojo Monday as I followed their great sketch.

Hello ! Well I don't know about you but I am now offically fed up with the snow - it is just not shifting and the school has been closed all last week and my children are very much hoping it is open Monday - I know it is weird but they miss school, especially my daughter, I am just enjoying it while it lasts as no doubt in a couple of years she will hate it. Also we have one grit bin for the whole of our estate and it is right at the opposite end to us and as soon as it is filled the selfish people near it take it all ..... why !!!! if we all had a bit and spread it on the road in front of our houses we would all get out easier especially as it is quite hilly. Anyway that is my rant over with for today and back to happier things and the Crafty Catz challenge is back today. This week the lovely Kirsty has set the challenge for us of 'bright and sparkly', I loved this challenge as it let me get my bottle of stickles out again and get all sparkly, I have also used one of my new Miss Anya stamps, I love them. If you have a minute pop over to the blog to see what the other ladies have been up to and join in the fun, I would love to be able to drop by your blogs and say hello!

Happy New Year ! I hope you had a great one whatever you did, we stayed in and had a lovely cosy night in, the only thing to do with 2 small and tired children. Well yesterday we finally got rid of all our snow, we had roads and grass and lovely things like that, this morning we are back to square one and full of the old white stuff again ... now it was nice when it first arrived at the beginning of the school hols as I had no reason to go out and slide around in it etc etc but now we are a day from school reopening and it is back with avengence .. oh well .. I will stop my moaning now and move on. Today is the first challenge of the New Year over on Totally Gorjuss and we thought we would start you off with a thank you card, it was sooooo nice to make a card that wasn't a Christmas one and once I got into it again and put down my bottle of Stickles I really enjoyed it. Hop over to the blog to see all the other DT creations and join in the fun.
Take care in this weather, we are staying firmly in today which is probably for the best as my little Grayce is full of a cold and cough.
