TIME TO CELEBRATE

A very happy New Year I hope you enjoyed all the festivities and are ready to get cracking with some crafty projects. The first challenge of 2011 over at CRAFT YOUR DAYS AWAY is a great one to ease you back in to crafting, the theme is  'ANYTHING GOES' set by my fab teamie Liz so if you have' Thank You' cards still to write or Birthday's coming up or indeed if you have a Calendar Page needed to hang in your craft space then enter them into the challenge in fact anything crafty even new knitted hat/gloves/scarf for all the snow which has returned! I could do with one of those fab hats so many people are wearing which cover your ears and keep you warm and cosy although I'm not sure about the pigtails!

My mojo has been sadly lacking over the festive period just didn't know what I was going to do. I bought 'Scrapbook Magazine' last Monday and with the magazine was a 'nitwit collection' the papers inspired me to make my card. No idea where the design came from just went with it. The 'Time to Celebrate' stamp was a free stamp from 'Craft Stamper Magazine'
Simon Says Stamp is our sponsor for this challange you could win $10 voucher code to spend in store so why not have a go. There is lots of inspiration from the DT and a fabulous project by or GDT Pami make sure you visit Pami's blog there is some great craft projects. Don't forget to add GDT to your name if you want to be considered for GDT spot for challenge #13.

Thanks for visiting.

Hiya Carol Ann. I love the soft pretty colours and papers here. It all looks so gorgeous and shabby chic like - LOVE the criss crossing of the ribbon - I'd have ended up tearing the blumming papers doing that lol.
