<div align="center">
Hello.....I'm back again with a card I made for the February CCC swap <a href="http://dominodebi.typepad.com/sos/" target="_blank">{HERE}</a></div>
<div align="center">
It's an international monthly card swap which the lovely Deborah organizes.</div>
<div align="center">
I created my card for Betty in Nebraska - </div>

<div align="center">
There are always 4 options to follow - a sketch, colour palette, theme and product option.</div>
<div align="center">
I followed the 'friendship' theme and used wood veneer shapes as the product option.</div>
<div align="center">
You only need to use one of the options or all of them if you want!!</div>
<div align="center">
I received my card from Greta in Oregon, a gorgeous friendship card in my favourite colour purple :)</div>

Hello everyone,</div>
<div align="center">
Happy New Year!! Hope you had a lovely Christmas and a fabulous New Year!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
One of my new year's resolutions is to get blogging again, sharing my cards and ideas with you all and entering challenges again :)</div>
<div align="center">
To get me started I have had a big tidy up and clear out, I now know where everything is.....almost :) </div>
<div align="center">
I use part of the spare bedroom so like to keep it tidy and hidden away for when we have guests. I would love a room just for crafts and I have spent many hours on Pinterest looking at gorgeous craft spaces!!</div>
<div align="center">
Anyway I thought I would share a few photos of my new organised craft space.......it wont stay tidy very long!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hi.........I'm back with a couple of cards I have made using the gorgeous Doily stamp and die from Docrafts. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the above card I stamped and embossed the doily stamp and then cut it out with the matching die. Quite tricky to line up but worth the effort :) The 'mum' and the scalloped border in pink are also stamps from Docrafts - the vintage range. Finished with some bakers twine and button and a wee tag!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZVvUZ2Hw6p22KFU_2sxAN-xo6kyFd7PEa6NzJN8uliN10v7QEtm9chsS1OcXlW6oAMOcfJviQFpl8MIu_16b1025lpiyMnQ1wiFHu9MVkYyrVihQChwJkHaYLbXNfOPG7nmMME7ObDEr8/s1600/P1030344.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZVvUZ2Hw6p22KFU_2sxAN-xo6kyFd7PEa6NzJN8uliN10v7QEtm9chsS1OcXlW6oAMOcfJviQFpl8MIu_16b1025lpiyMnQ1wiFHu9MVkYyrVihQChwJkHaYLbXNfOPG7nmMME7ObDEr8/s400/P1030344.JPG" width="330" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
This card uses the doily stamp stamped and embossed straight onto the patterned paper. I used a Silver Pearl embossing powder for a watermark look. It's a very subtle look but very pretty!</div>
<div align="center">
I cut the card into a tag shape and added the butterfly from a 'Framelits' set.</div>
<div align="center">
Finished with the die-cut 'Mum' (a Docrafts alphabet die) and the sentiment stamped in pink is from Hero Arts.</div>

We have a new challenge over at<strong><a href="http://www.pennybfriendssaturdaychallenge.blogspot.com/"> <span style="color: #0b5394;">Penny Black Saturday</span></a></strong>......<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">'January Blues'</span>.....<br />
so any theme etc. just stick to the colour blue!<br />
<br />
I have used this gorgeous floral stamp from PB and simply stamped it in Tumbled Glass distress ink, stamping an extra one to layer up the large flower. I have inked the edges and stamped the sentiment in the same ink too. <br />
I did no colouring as I think the flowers look nice and fresh as they are :)<br />
A nice fresh start to 2013!!<br />

Today I am sharing a card I made for a Handmade card swap over on the Sugar Nellie group's Facebook page :) My swap partner has received the card now so I can share :)</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I have used an ever so cute<span style="color: #38761d;"> <strong><a href="http://www.sugarnellie.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #38761d;">Sugar Nellie</span></a></strong></span> stamp called <strong><a href="http://www.funkykits.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1789"><span style="color: #990000;">'Little Apprentice'</span></a></strong>. The image is great fun to colour and I've gone for a traditional red/green colour combo but I think the gorgeous papers from Echo Park make the card look modern. Love these papers.....love stripes and spots :)</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I am entering my card into <strong><a href="http://www.charismacardz.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #990000;">Charisma Cardz</span></a></strong> #49 - Christmas Makes.....</div>

<div align="center">
I have one more Christmas card to share :) and then back to the norm........birthdays etc.</div>

Time to get out all your glitter and bling and create a sparkly creation.......it can be any theme, not just Christmas :)</div>

I have used my all-time favourite snowman stamp from Penny Black, it's a slapstick stamp. I have coloured with promarkers and then used Heat & Stick powder from Stampin' Up to cover the whole image with fine glitter. It really does sparkle.......the photo above does it no justice. See below for a close-up!</div>

We would love to see all your cards featuring singing or dancing or both if you'd like!!</div>

I have used my favourite PB cats having a good ole sing song :) Coloured as always with promarkers and prismas and the paper is also PB from quite a while ago. Not sure if they do this range anymore.<br />
But it's perfect to match up with these happy kitties!!<br />

Hi! Today I am sharing a couple of Christmas gift ideas :)</div>
<div align="center">
I love making my own gift packaging......adds a little something extra special to your gift!</div>
<div align="center">
The cute little triangle treat box above is full of sweeties in a cello bag tied with ribbon. I found the instructions for the box in the Tutorials section over at <strong><a href="http://www.splitcoaststmapers.com/resources"><span style="color: #cc0000;">SplitCoastStampers</span></a></strong>.</div>
<div align="center">
Once the box was made I decorated each side with patterned paper, red lace? and die-cut snowflakes using my Spellbinders Create a Flake 3 set.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Next is this bottle tag with a front pocket for adding some money or a gift card perhaps? You can use this tag over a bottle of wine or even bubble bath with a face mask in the pocket :) Anything you want really!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi44mA73MfC_YbRX7ksZqUnNwYSMSgHu0fmAxjRhnlajKF_gmG7bik_vr0zonjsKIISIqDez8fiTj8txpxqJBPiPhv1eckCb1k6_-zeDN4hFgycRBul8l7PG_VQoxCdSRYbGScJLgE-tuOZ/s1600/016.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" rea="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi44mA73MfC_YbRX7ksZqUnNwYSMSgHu0fmAxjRhnlajKF_gmG7bik_vr0zonjsKIISIqDez8fiTj8txpxqJBPiPhv1eckCb1k6_-zeDN4hFgycRBul8l7PG_VQoxCdSRYbGScJLgE-tuOZ/s320/016.JPG" width="191" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
Again I have decorated the blank tag with patterned papers and snowflake die to match the treat box.....</div>
<div align="center">
A lovely gift set for someone ~ sweeties and wine or pampering treats - perfect!</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I am entering my gift ideas into the following challenges ~</div>
