Oh.My Word!

Yes I know - it has been AN AGE!

I have still been creating but I don't always put cards here on my blog, hopefully you have managed to keep up with me on Instagram and Facebook?  I'll pop some links at the end of this post incase you want to have a look!

I'm back on the blog today to share a card I really enjoyed making as I am a Guestabella for wonderful Stamping Bella throughout November.

I am so thrilled about this - enormous thanks to Elaine and the Bella's for having me!

Here is my first Guestabella card!
I absolutely loved making this card!  I felt it had a really cozy 'curled up in front of the fire with a book' feel so I thought the sentiment was spot on!
