first card 2012

Hi All,

This is my first card for 2012. I have had a hard time over christmas and new year. My mum went into hospital before christmas and they would not let her go back to her home because she needs 24 hour care, so they put her in a resthome. I had her house to clear out and furniture to sell over christmas and new year when everything is closed. Still clearing up her paper work, everytime I go round a corner I hit a brick wall. Maybe this week will improve.
Hope all my blogger friends had a great christmas and new year.
Coloured Tilda with pencils and paper pieced her clothes
violin paper from dcwv
decoupaged violin
tim holtz embossed stitching on top
heat embossed sentiment stamp
flowers from stash
brand new butterfly, [just arrived in the shop]
