Born On Winter's Day

Hiya all, hope you had a great weekend. I made a new acquaintance at an art exhibition yesterday, Twombly, together with two old ones, Turner and Monet. Fabulous paintings and very inspiring, I'm left with an itching urge to work with acrylics, just for the fun of mixing colours and splash a bit, nothing compared with the great artists' work, more like small children like to play with colours. Simple joys, eh!?

Talking about small children, the card above is for a toddler Born On A Winter's Day; and that's our theme for this week chosen by the lovely Louise at Cupcake Craft Challenges.

We're being sponsored by My Mum's Craft Shop who are offering a lucky winner a £10 Gift Voucher! Check our blog for all the details and to see the teams fantastic work! Sadly our teamie, Rachel, has decided to step down, we'll miss you hun!
