Happy New Year with Best Wishes for 2013

A very  'Happy New Year' to you all.  I hope you enjoyed the festive period.................its hard to believe this is  already the 3rd January.

As usual we had a lovely time, however, my poor mum, whom you all know as Rita of RMG Creations, came down with flu on Christmas Eve, whilst staying with my sister in West Lothian. Today was the first I had seen her as she has been so poorly and did not wish anyone else to catch this horrible virus. We had a nice afternoon and I am so glad that her health is improving. I received the most fabulous makes from my  wonderful crafty mum and other  fabulous blog friends, which I shall share with you tomorrow. 

Meanwhile this is a little memo pad, which I made as a gift for a friend at New Year. I used Sizix TH Matchbook Set die and some SB dies. The flowers were made using  the TH tattered florals  die on card, which I stamped with script and then blended with DI's. Once the flowers were dry I sprayed them with Perfect pearls Mist in  Heirloom Gold







As you know I love Butterfly's and after inking with DI's I added some pearls from my stash. 

Thank You so much for continuing to follow me and for the lovely comments and encouragement you have given me since I started blogging in March 2012. You are all so inspiring.

Crafty Hugs and Best Wishes to you all in 2013 xxx

  2. Goodness, those flowers are just beautiful, Annie - a gorgeous make altogether!

    I'm so sorry to hear your mum's not been well - if it's anything like what I've had, it is awful, so I do wish her all the best for a smooth and speedy recovery. It feels like one that's going to linger if you're not careful... Hope everyone else steers clear of it.

  9. Hi Annie, your little memo pad is stunning, the flower is gorgeous and the butterfly (my most favourite creature in the world) is just beautiful. A truly lovely gift to receive.

    I have been thinking non stop about your Mum and if wishing could make her better she would be better by now! So glad that she was improved when you saw her and that she was able to blog today too. Take care and I look forward to another wonderful year of craftiness from you. Hugs, Anne x

    Beautiful gift Annie, the flowers are stunning ! I do hope your Mum is feeling alot better now, the virus that's been doing the rounds is quite nasty. I'm still struggling to get my voice to work properly after 3 weeks ! I shall be hitting the pavement too as I have most definitely over indulged !
