I haven't quite got back into the swing of crafting and blogging yet. With Christmas and the New Year and then a weekend away it wasn't until Tuesday that things were back to normal when we had our first line dancing class of the year.
It is always good to start the New Year with a sort out and yesterday Graham sorted out the loft. He found some curtains which we had in our previous house and we have lived here for 23 years! They were expensive ones which is probably why we kept them but they are going to the charity shop today along with a few other things. A trip to the tip yesterday and now we have more space in the loft. Today's task is to clean the craft room as it is impossible to give it a good clean every week.
I was looking for an old stamp and found this one instead which I decided to use. I am sure I have only ever used it with purple ink for some reason. So this time I used chianti Versafine which looks burgundy out came out purple! I used Crafter's Companion vintage lace paper, cheesecloth, lace from Crafty Ribbons, LOTV sentiment, Wild Orchid flowers and some wired pearls. I made another card which I can't share yet as it is for a friend's Birthday.

Like you Marianne, I am struggling with getting back to blogging. I have had a good tidy up in my craft room but forgotten already where I have put some things!! I hope to finish a scrapbook tonight for my son, for the Maltese connection in my family. Then I need to make some cards for my 2 outlets. A spring theme I think!!
Love your beautiful vintage card. Great colours and design. Hugs, Carol S.xxx
