Snow Queen

Hey, I hope you are all well & keeping warm. The temperature here has no idea what its doing up & down like a blinkin' yo-yo!!! Makes it difficult knowing what to wear, as I hate getting to warm & really hate getting cold lol yeah as Nige says pain in the ar*e xx

Anyhoos, I'm here to share with you my latest Sweet Pea Stamps creation, for their progressive challenge over on Facebook.

I just had to buy this image when I saw her, she is so sassy & the reindeer has an earring lol

If you are my friend on Facebook & you saw my post on Saturday, you will know my fabulous hubby took me to Hobbycraft. He was an absolute darling & brought me a new die cutting machine (I have had my Bigshot for over 10 years) I decided (after a lot of walking around & discussing it with him) to have the X-cut Xpress. The dies on this card have been cut out using it & wow what a difference a new machine makes, crisp cuts & they just fall out of the die, no bits to poke out. And its so easy to use, love it already. Thank you to my darling hubby for cheering me up, love you xx
