PUCKER UP!

Good morning everyone - remember me - I used to be a blogger! Lol!

I found that things were just getting too hectic in the run up to Christmas so I took an unplanned blogging break, and I have to say, I think it's done me the world of good - this blogging lark can take over your life a bit and you can start to feel under pressure about entering challenges, but I'm back because I have really missed you all and I am feeling all refreshed and raring to go!!

I'm not one for making New Year resolutions but with regards to my crafting life, I would like to do a bit more sewing this year and I'd also like to get back into tracing my family tree. 2-3 years ago before I started card making, genealogy was my hobby. It's just as addictive as crafting and just SO fascinating. 

Anyway, I'm here today with a wee tag for the new challenge over at Crafty Cardmakers.  The theme is "Create a Fairytale Scene".



I don't have any suitable 'fairytale' type stamps, so I used my Silhouette to cut out an image of "The Princess and the Frog".  The tag was made with DP on card, which I edged with DI, then I just added some star gems, a bit of ribbon and a sentiment from Inkadinkado.

Okay dokes, thank you so much for coming to visit me. I have a lot of catching up to do but I will come see you - promise!!

Take good care

Suze xx

Nice to see you back on board! Lovely tag, could do with a frog to kiss as well....but only if he would turn into a prince! Hugs, Valerie

Love your post title but it should have also carried a warning as I have a F*%G phobia which is getting to be out of control although not to the extent of the one on this tag (thank goodness I haven't reached that stage .... yet!)
Fun tag and good to have you back and as for your break, you were very sensible as it can be too much at times.
Wishes
