It seems like forever since I blogged last, but I'm back. I've been busy overseeing home improvements back in the UK which are now complete, hurray!! :-)
It's sad to leave my family when I travel to Norway so to let them know I'm thinking of them whilst I'm away I made this card which ties in perfectly with this week's CASology's challenge, FAMILY.
I got to use my newly purchased Cricut cartridge 'Going Places' which I used to cut the family figures. I cut them from Bazzill Basics Card which is a map (to represent the distance/countries).
I layered the card and picked out the orange/yellow tone in the map (family element). The family element was then added to the card using foam pads to add a bit of dimension (forefront of the card - i.e. forefront of my mind too).
Thank you for visiting my blog today
