Back after wintering in the front room

 I always use winter as my excuse for not blogging and crafting.  I go into hibernation living in my front room where I have a wood fire.  The rest of the house is an icebox except for my toasty electric blanket warmed bed.  My craft room tends to be a no go area for about 4 months of the year....lol....but now the days are warming and I can sit in my craft room in comfort without having to deal with frozen toes and fingers!
I have been playing with Christmas cards for the last few weeks but inspired by the MFT girls and their sketch made these cards last night.

Here's the sketch....
