Happy new year ..... CATCH UP and DE STEMPELWINKEL day.

 Sorry i have been MIA for a while now..... well since the last day of the CREEPMAS BLOG HOP with SMEARED and SMUDGED..... i found Christmas very emotional.... 1st  one without either of my oldies .... but i have a new grand dragon (grand daughter....born 12th November) so things didnt look so bleak to begin with.... but ..... the week before Christmas she was taken into hospital and remained there until new year..... as you can imagine most of the holiday season was spent at the hospital or beside the phone.
Anyway.....this photo shows her as she was Christmas eve..... such a darlin'...... shes now home and doing well..... i adore her....and love being a grand dragon.
Today is my day to post on the design team blog at DE-STEMEPELWINKEL and for January we have a love theme going....... i am no card maker but so far this month i've made two for that blog......
 ....above is todays offering...simple vintage style..... coloured with promarkers and ink..... below is my offering from 6th January..... more my usual style,,,,, DARK!  Both use stamps from  DE-STEMPELWINKEL of cause...... and bits from my stash.
 This ATC was my Christmas day offering for them as well...... rather traditional for me after the Creepmas hop.
 Finally on boxing day it was my turn to pick the challenge at DRAGONS DREAMS.....the challenge has now ended and a new one is running but i thought i'd show my tag anyway.......
 ..........  more my usual style of thing.....skull, skeleton..... yep more me! Well thats my catch up..... i hope to be back on track and blogging regularly now.....thanks for visiting BDx
