retro birthday

wow I have not blogged for a long time in fact I have not been creative for a long time. After I figured out how to get back on to blogger I was starting to wonder if it was worth it. Have had a few life changing experiences since I last blogged and that is probably why, now that I have resettled myself and moving forward I feel like I am ready to start creating and sharing again. anyway lets see if I can still do the linking thing daring cardmakers http://daringcardmakers.blogspot.co.nz/ are celebrating their seventh birthday and they have this picture as their inspiration
this is the card that I made that uses this photo as inspiration

the next part of the challenge was to make a christmas card based on a similar design since I was on a roll I made the following card

I am not happy that it does not reflect the first card or the inspirational picture but it is still a card and I am happy to cross another christmas card off my list thanks for looking did you miss me?
