Hello, 2025!

Good morning blogland,

Here I am and here we are - first post of 2025! I hope everyone had as good a Christmas and New Year as was possible.  Ours never really changes it's always very quiet - for both occasions - and (let's be honest here!) a tad boring. Not religious, don't do late nights and just us three for family - so hey, what'd I expect!

Still that can all be put behind us now and we move on, and in the moving on here's my first Design Team card of this year! We kick off 2025 with a new challenge over at Crafty Calendar Challenge with a theme of 'Add a die cut', no sponsor for this one but there is a prize on offer.

Now I do love my dies and I might have just a few, so this one is right up my street and I didn't stop at one die cut, oh no - you've got loads!

Supplies used:

Rubber stamp:

Time for Tea - Let's Party

coloured with my Copics

Dies:

Creative Craft Products - A2 Essentials Landscape Card Die set

Time for Tea - Smile Inverted Scallop Frame set

Time for Tea - Hey Hello Hi Sentiment Die set

Anything else:

white gel pen

blue striped blue light-weight card

I realise it's probably a little odd to pair that sentiment with that image and even I had a different sentiment to begin with, but I saw that 'hello' and thought 'oooh, I like that!' and went with it!  

Aaand that's about it for my first post of 2025 - I look forward to posting many more times over the next year!

See you soon,

Sarah
