Sketch Saturday #391

I'm back! Not that I actually think anyone comes by here any more but I am back and I'm very sorry for dropping off the world.   The Hubster and my mother have both experienced very poor health since April this year.    I took a little break from card making and blogging in October and I thought things were starting to get back to normal but both Mum and T'hubster suffered set backs last month and I lost the plot a little myself.   But - it's Saturday and time for another great sketch at

Sketch Saturday
and I'm back.
I want to thank my lovely, lovely teamies at Sketch Saturday for being supportive to my needs for a break.  You are lovely ladies!   Thank you.

This week we are delighted to be sponsored by our wonderful friends at
Simon Says Stamp

Debra has given us a great easy sketch this week.   I'm not convinced I'm terribly happy with my card but at least its a start on my Christmas cards!!!   I have an attic stuffed to the rafters with craft toys and I have had to resort to shop bought ones for most of my Christmas cards this year.

I used my Waltzing mouse "Bright Season" stamps and lantern die which you can find here, stamped on to a Sizzix (I think) embossing folder and partially framed with a Spellbinder Christmas Die Holly Frame.  which Simon Says Stamp sells here.  The large poinsettia flower and ivy are from my stash.

It would be great if you would share some love with all of the Saturdays and then scooch some space on your craft table and come and play along with us.
