Whiff of Joy #82

Firstly I would like to apologise to all of you for not blogging in ages! I have been away on a gorgeous holiday with my Husband :). I couldn't resist showing you the lovely views we woke up to every morning for two weeks it was worth getting up for at 7.30 every morning with or without a hangover. The picture was taken of my Husband looking out from our balcony over the bay in Elounda Crete.

Anyway back home now and back to reality. I have made this card for my Sister in Law. I thought I lost my mojo but I am starting to love this card! I did treat myself to a new stamp on arriving home from my hols as it reminded me of my SIL.
I am entering this into the Whiff of Joy challenge.

I also have some great news to share which I can't say anything about yet but I promise to tell you in my next post and will also share some more Holiday snaps if you would like to see them?

I hope you like it and thanks for looking.

Happy Friday:).
