Mosaics

Hi all, hope you're well and having a good weekend. How are your Christmas preparations going? I am well and truly panicking now; I've never been so disorganised in my whole life! I know that once it's all over I'll be wondering why I got in a state but I'm terrified of forgetting something really important. I did forget a to get a Christmas pudding one year, lol, so that's the first thing I get every year now!

Anyway, onto my share for today. I was asked to make some cards using mosaics for this month's Quick Cards and this is one of them. The butterfly is from DigiStamp Boutique resized in Craft Artist. It took a while to cut and stick all the little bits of paper but I really enjoyed the job. Hope you like it!



I was chuffed to bits to see that one of the cards had made the front cover too - yay! If you look here you'll also see some fab makes from my lovely blog buddy Jules (Always with a Heart) that are in this month's issue too.

Thank you all for asking about my health and sending good wishes - you are so lovely. I've finally heard from the eye hospital too and my appointment is in January. As I'm not someone that finds it easy to keep things to myself (as if you hadn't noticed!) I'll keep you informed whether you want to know or not, lol!!

I'll be round for a catch up later.
Hope Jahmene wins X Factor!!

Oh Wow! this is gorgeous Katina! the butterfly looks so pretty with the mosaic effect… love the papers and the way you've done the border it looks fab!
Ah well if you are short of a xmas pudding… give us a shout… I always get 2 or 3 mini ones every year and then my tummy isn't up to it… so usually end up with them going out of date or having them at Easter!!!!… so not sure why on earth I keep buying them in the first place!!! LOL :-))
Hope you're having a good weekend!
Big hugs
Sue xx
