Blue and Red Birthday xx

Hello there all

Oh its been a wee while since I posted on here, you know how bust the Christmas season can get tho! I hope Santa spoiled you all and brought you some fun Crafty bits too??

I wanted to share with you a wee 50th Birthday Box I had the privilege of making 

The papers were from my stash, a bundle of 12x12 papers I got from Hey Little Magpie and the images are all stamps from Lili of the Valley coloured with Promarkers!

I really enjoyed making this, maybe because I hadn't made one a while but it was fun to spend a few days enjoy making all the elements!

Well I'm off to relax with the dog, log fire and my crochet today!
