Happy New Year fellow crafters, I hope Christmas was a good one for you?

Well today the 1st January 2013 and we kick off the year with a new challenge over at
'Passion for Promarkers' and it is titled 
'New Beginnings'.

I have opted to use this cute little stamp from Magnolia which came

with the last issue of the Magnolia Ink Magazine. My reasoning, for those that

don't know we had a new addition to the family this Christmas in the form

of another little Westie puppy, welcome little Evie, so this is for her!

This challenge is sponsored by the fabulous 

who have a collectors set up for grabs for one lucky winner!

Please come and play along with us, I know a lot of crafter's have had Promarkers 

for Christmas or have resolutions to improve techniques, so what are you 

waiting for?

I have used - Die, papers, sentiments are CG, flowers, berries, tulips, roses.

Buckle, charm, ribbon, lace, embossing folder.

All hand stitched to finish.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -
I Love Promarkers - Anything but Square (I won Top 3)!
Ladybug Crafts - Anything Goes (I won Top 3)!

Thank you for visiting my blog throughout 2012 and all your wonderful comments,

Thinking of You ...

No Christmas card today, almost done on that front!

I have made this pretty little blue embossed card using an

embossing folder that I purchased a while back.

I have used the folder again on the inside and cut away the circle.

Very simple really but beautiful don't you think.

I have used papers, ribbon, charm, sentiments,gems, flowers & tulle.

All hand stitched for a change!

Take care, love x

Warm Tidings ...

I have been making some 'quick' Christmas cards to boost my supplies and I 

have made several along the lines of this one.

I say quick, still hand stitched!

I have used the gorgeous papers from Pink Petticoat called 'Christmas Kraft Organics'

they are just too gorgeous.  Plain white card for the border, edge punch, gingham,

string, bells, sentiment, mittens & finally an old heart punch.

Thank you for visiting my blog today, take care, love x

With love at Christmas ...

Well today is a month long challenge over on the 

Joanna Sheen Challenge Blog

titled 'With Love at Christmas'

and I could not resist the new House Mouse Christmas Project Book!

This is my first 8x8 card, perfect for these pesky little mice.

The inside to match.

Finally a close up of the decoupage.

I printed my decoupage onto Elegance Satin cardstock because I wanted to

make my little cuties pop by colouring them with my Promarkers.

I have used the main image, inside image and papers from three different

projects in the book so you can see they really mix and match well.

I have also used ribbon, charms, snow, mirri, star, sentiment and red cardstock.

Card blank and plenty of hand stitching!

As the challenge will last for a month the winner will receive

a £ 30 Joanna Sheen gift voucher.

I hope you can come and play along with us?

Thanks for popping by, love x
