Winter Snowflake

Susie Snowflake (6)

Evening all. Did anyone miss me? Probably not, but it has been a whole month since I last posted anything! Unfortunately I caught some nasty germs at the start of December and ended up with a sinus and chest infection that kind of took the shine off of Christmas and I’m not quite back to normal yet.

Anyhoo, I am at least starting to craft again and my first make of the year is for the new challenge over in the Conie Fong Art & Design FB Group. Our theme for the whole month of January is Something New.

My new things are the image, Susie Snowflake, new to me and new to the shop last month and I’ve used some new dies as well:
