Long time no post....

So sorry for being such an awful blogger....no update for almost 2 weeks....I think that may well be a record for me. Life here is a little hectic as we have been frantically trying to finish off the kitchen. We are now fully tiled, and are just on the finishing touches to the painting. We will be finished by the end of the week....

So here are some cards I made for the new digi release over on All That Scraps...

Eyeball Birgitta

Devil Birgitta

Skull Abigail

Angel Birgitta

Hope to be back blogging regularly in early September....when the kids are back in school. I hope you are all enjoying your Summer Holidays.
