Happy Today, Oh Yeah:0)

Okay, it's a happy day today, hope that you are having one too, 

I made a card..................
I had lots of inky fun making this, it has so many different techniques I've gone back to my roots. I think it was probably 3 or 4years ago when Tim Holtz was over here at the Craft Barn I was so lucky, he had a workshop and demoed for about and hour. I was very impressed by his style and have loved grunge ever since, I'm pretty messy too so it's lots of fun and I can let my hair down:0)








The  postman delivered today, he looked so cold, I felt really sorry for him:{ 
It was my order of some recycled cards, love the colour and texture, good thing too there are 50 of them in the pack.

Grunge board Numbers. The back ground is the ATC sized Christmas Carols  stamp and Seasonal salvage stickers





Hubby said to me after I'd finished
 '"Why aren't all our Christmas cards like that?"
he hadn't noticed that I'd spent the majority of the afternoon up to my elbows in ink and embossing powder and grumbling at the wet tissue tape when it wouldn't stick:0)
