New Blog design

As you can see I've got a new blog design and I just love it.
Its really a huge thanks to Michelle and her team @ Laycock design.
This is all in aid of changes in life and hopefully I'll end up being a butterfly at the end of it.
Also I hope to blog more regularly and join in a few more challenges weekly

I leave on this beautiful day with an awesome saying a friend told me " If you are going through a trouble times and can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, then walk down and turn it on you yourself"

Too long between blogs

Life has been so hectic with lossing my job and becoming so ill that I have not been able to go back to work. You would think that would just give me time to scrap but I just have had no Mojo.
I've taken a break away from Wellington and have stayed in Auckland for about 10 days to give me a break.
I hauled my stuff up here hoping I get some done and thank goodness I been able to with a little help from Mojo Monday.
I've been able to keep up, I just have not been able to link them to my blog due to a silly laptop but hopefully I have it sorted now.
Anyway so here are the first card, next ones to follow.


Materials:
Stamps: Artfully Asian (retired)
Card stock: Basic Black, Whisper White, Riding Hood DSP
Inks: Black stazon
Others: Riding Hood Red 5/8" Striped grosgrain ribbon, Hodgepodge Hardware, spellbinders dies, peelcraft words, twinking H2O

I'm Back

Well I'm back, I know have not been blogging so much but life just got really hectic with moving houses, my cousions wedding, looking for a new job while coping of the stress from my existing job and then last Sunday I fell off a ladder 4 meters above ground.
I was lucky that I didn't break anything but I've got an almight bruise and concussion.

I also have not really done much crafting either but I hope to soon.
I've also made a new resolution that when I visit another blog I should comment as there are so many talented crafters out there who deserve the acknowledgment.

Anyway back to work but I hope to have sometime this weekend to do some crafting but who knows.
