Wishing you a wonderful holiday :O)

First of all - I would like to wish all of my fabulous blog followers a wonderful holiday and hope 
that you had a fabulous Christmas :O)

Secondly - I want to thank all of you who have emailed me personally and for friends who 
have supported me over the last few months.

As many of you know I spent most of this year going back and forwards to the UK to spend time with my parents as my Dad was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in the Spring. Obviously every time I went back I then spent the next month or so running round like a chicken with its head cut off trying to catch up with all the things I had missed while I was away - only to repeat the process a few months later. As you can imagine I managed to lose entire weeks especially when you factor in the fact that both boys were in marching band this year so I was even more involved that usual with the band.

My beloved dad passed away at the beginning of October and I have to confess that the bottom dropped out of my world. I have a Dad shaped hole in my life and I have struggled so much with my grief - there are some days when it seems almost impossible.

The run up to Christmas has, in particular, been very difficult for me and whilst I am blessed to know that Mum spent the day with my 2 sisters and their families - it did make me feel even further from my family than usual.

With that being said - I will try to post a whole load of photos to try and play catch up LOL.

Wishing you all the best for a wonderful 2014 
Much love as always - Sara xxxxx

Design Decor Frame

Oh I am sooooooo in love with the new Colonial White Design Decor Frame - I love the country shabby chic feel to it with it's cool chicken wire.

I decided to make an advent style countdown to Christmas. 
I used the new Frosted paper pack and matching large felt flowers and made lots of 1" flowers with 
blush cardstock using the CTMH Art Philosopy cartridge. 
I used the same cartridge to make all of the boxes and the numbers and letters out of the 
Bronze Glitter cardstock.
Hope you like it - Love Sara xxx

Hello everyone - here is a fabuous layout using the Tommy WOTG - I know it was hugely popular and this was designed by my dear friend Victoria as I was back in the UK and life was crazy.

Lots of Burlap ribbon give it that great nautical texture

 co-ordinating canvas shapes ARE !!! 
Remember they are a limited time item and will be sold out before January so don't miss out :O)
