Phoenix Inspirations

This is a very quick post to show you my dt card for this weeks challenge over the  52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown . This week the challenge is to pick a previous sketch. I went for the July Blog Hop sketch but there are loads for you to choose from - just look under sketch archive over on the blog. Here is my card Sorry this is short but I have had an exhausting day. Dad is back in hospital and we have spent all visiting hours trying to convince him that he is not sat in a pool of water, or that there are kittens and puppies on the ward or that he is covered in spiders. He is having terrible hallucinations - we think it's due to his medication but we will not be sure until he has seen a doctor on Monday but it's quite worrying. Anyway - thanks for stopping by - see you soon xx
