Week 9 - sketch by Tara

This is my first christmas card of the year, but I have been looking at everyone else's blog and it seems they are way ahead of me already. I am still recovering from my operation and this is the first time that I have actually been able to make a card I still need help lifting heavy things so I have some great helpers round the house, because unlike some of you lucky girls I don't have my own craft room so I have 3 cupboards and I have to put it away each time.
Anyway I will stop going on now I am entering this card for this weeks basic grey challenge
the sketch is a lovley one created by Tara G, I have used my lovely wisteria papers.

Feeling blue

I have used a sarah kay image, this has to be my favourite at the moment. I also used a lot of scraps and old papers from doodlebug that I haven't touched I am a bit like that like to collect papers and not use them lol I am sure you know what I mean.
The lady that I have made this for is mad about the colour blue as you can see!
Right off to the hospital for my appointment now can't wait to get it over with then back to work for me today.
