Iceland...


Hello everyone, I've been AWOL again but I have an excuse as I've been away on a last minute holiday
It was a bit of a change for us, we went to North Iceland
It was absolutely amazing, what a fantastic place
The Northern Lights were weak and we couldn't go whale watching because of the blizzards but I think if those 2 things had gone to plan it would be my most favourite trip ever... and I've been on a few








The challenge this fortnight at AYLI is Christmas or Birthday and I went with Birthday.  I love making Christmas cards but because all our family birthdays and anniversaries are spread between December and March I don't usually get chance to make any until those are all out of the way.
These stamps are a bit different for me but I needed a couple of cards and didn't really want cute, it's a set from HunkyDory…




The sentiment stamp and scalloped border die are MFT, I use them both a lot

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great weekend

  10. I have to admit to Iceland being on a list of places that I would have loved to have gone to, your photos are amazing. the blue and white in them are just magic, I suspect a few would look great on your Christmas cards, when you start them LOL.

    Your cards are beautifully simple and so very pretty. Love the dies.

  12. Hello Anne, loving your photos of Iceland, my favourite place and would go and live there if I got the chance. Alistair took me there for my 60th, but it was in June so it was light right through so no chance of seeing the Northern Lights. I love the fact that they also put their corrupt bankers in jail..for a hefty number of years too. So pleased you enjoyed your trip.
    Lovely cards, the flowers are so pretty with great colours, hope you'er enjoying your day, Kate x
