Evening Everyone! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As this is my first blog post of 2016 I should start by saying Happy New Year to you all! A little belated, as I can't believe that we're already half way through January! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tonight I want to share with you a project I made for <a href="http://hope-chances.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Hope and Chances Creativity</a> using Spellbinders Contour Die <a href="http://hopeandchances.co.uk/shop/contour-steel-rule-dies/leaf-me-alone/" target="_blank">Leaf Me Alone</a>. Given the versatility of the fabulous <a href="http://hopeandchances.co.uk/shop/platinum/spellbinders-platinum-die-cutting-and-embossing-machine/" target="_blank">Platinum</a> machine I wanted to try a different medium and opted for felt. I have lots of empty glass jars in the garage, so I thought what better than to create a decorative jar. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxMy5aXUAiU1uFh6wVc_F1tofWHm-jbt0I3MnoX7FJ9TcTP8uqk8w2TNdJp0Tixz__ITrZr7uRdWuWyhSd1MPklQjFL4DiTWZqRtU4tQBkZ_2tChAuTo5iR4gZhlaPiwR4Wq66ImTE3PI/s1600/Jan+Pic+1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxMy5aXUAiU1uFh6wVc_F1tofWHm-jbt0I3MnoX7FJ9TcTP8uqk8w2TNdJp0Tixz__ITrZr7uRdWuWyhSd1MPklQjFL4DiTWZqRtU4tQBkZ_2tChAuTo5iR4gZhlaPiwR4Wq66ImTE3PI/s400/Jan+Pic+1.png" width="295" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Platinum machine easily cut through a couple of layers of felt and so this halved the time for cutting out all of the flowers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP4hW_IU4_iXv95OWsq5cEWGi4SgpjNrfs21lqzWRyzXeqzJb9aj7qbSMd5KymYKT-L_rAGoiXkZCSqVP4rXbB2tTjJUpwk9xCJzV25Jj9GLTrxEzg7kt_7CQbdczOHPukGOydDP99JaM/s1600/Jan+Pic+3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP4hW_IU4_iXv95OWsq5cEWGi4SgpjNrfs21lqzWRyzXeqzJb9aj7qbSMd5KymYKT-L_rAGoiXkZCSqVP4rXbB2tTjJUpwk9xCJzV25Jj9GLTrxEzg7kt_7CQbdczOHPukGOydDP99JaM/s400/Jan+Pic+3.png" width="295" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I adhered the flowers together by using hot glue and added a dimante in the centre for a bit of sparkle. The leaves and the flowers were then added to the glass jar using hot glue. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVvs7KhyphenhyphenpJT8M9bXDGTxf-wxNwToXsVLUhDHBkjTZRPBAQamluqx9V2BAhmIEyQetbKgNEqTuITnTNPGJ3Zhk54gmPOerwbo0jY6vS8lrd8oUddi11Z8qi2334PS0DH8X_0XI2PP1jgpc/s1600/Jan+Pic+2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVvs7KhyphenhyphenpJT8M9bXDGTxf-wxNwToXsVLUhDHBkjTZRPBAQamluqx9V2BAhmIEyQetbKgNEqTuITnTNPGJ3Zhk54gmPOerwbo0jY6vS8lrd8oUddi11Z8qi2334PS0DH8X_0XI2PP1jgpc/s400/Jan+Pic+2.png" width="295" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The project was finished by adding some pink ribbon and a bow to the top. This jar is going to make a great gift for my Nan's forthcoming birthday and I intend to fill it with her favourite sweets. It could also be used to hold cotton wool balls or perhaps even would look great with a battery operated candle. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had some flowers left over and couldn't resist making a couple of hair clips for my daughter!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFv_9aRKxFFN6BNEbAW3FaDsjhrRL4V1f_q-WY7r6aDlseb1O8eA2zju-TuWhncKQQtD7pQ1Gl-2sqVyy1ACETEbbDG2UKFdb-j9s0qqxMYJDof1_uFm3gbIg6CmSIfO83u6Zl2xPerso/s1600/Jan+Pic+4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="295" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFv_9aRKxFFN6BNEbAW3FaDsjhrRL4V1f_q-WY7r6aDlseb1O8eA2zju-TuWhncKQQtD7pQ1Gl-2sqVyy1ACETEbbDG2UKFdb-j9s0qqxMYJDof1_uFm3gbIg6CmSIfO83u6Zl2xPerso/s400/Jan+Pic+4.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think they would also look great added to a hair band or even a decorative broach. Here's my daughter modelling one of the clips :-) </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm up so late on a school night, but really wanted to share my latest DT make for <a href="http://hope-chances.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Hope and Chances Creativity</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This card is a great way of using up those scraps of paper, which we all accumulate. If your anything like me I have mountains of them! </div>

Evening all! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you've all got the hatches battened down, as they say, because it's a bit bit breezy to say the least! I'm sure our bins are chasing my daughter's playhouse around our garden right at this very moment. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, I'm back tonight with another card I made spreading my Elliott's Angels Wings for <a href="http://hopeandchances.co.uk/" target="_blank">Hope and Chances Creativity</a>. This is the second card I have made using the very versatile <a href="http://hopeandchances.co.uk/shop/autumn-sale/2012-heirloom-ornaments/" target="_blank">Spellbinders 2012 Heirloom Ornaments</a>, which is still on sale at a fabulous price. This time I wanted to make a card and here is the result-</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVJ12bJhq5RtMpg2odPxor-U5bV4gFPh5uPASM4YAzuLNEFIY7i7F04vmJR0LmqTxE4YkdbAqVUZe-dkOKkBUMvKalNuC7FyaJVx0G-rkydsdEqvqJCWS1EbEb6HY7i4ovbZs8eYQ5__s/s1600/November+No+2+Pic+1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="295" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVJ12bJhq5RtMpg2odPxor-U5bV4gFPh5uPASM4YAzuLNEFIY7i7F04vmJR0LmqTxE4YkdbAqVUZe-dkOKkBUMvKalNuC7FyaJVx0G-rkydsdEqvqJCWS1EbEb6HY7i4ovbZs8eYQ5__s/s400/November+No+2+Pic+1.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made the card using the waste from cutting out three baubles and then I used different scraps of paper behind the cut outs to create the baubles. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I added some ribbon to the top of the baubles and then some sporadically placed sequins to give it a bit of bling. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My first thought when I opened the envelope and saw the die set was 3D baubles! I had a few ideas of what I could do and this is what I came up with....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first bauble I made by cutting the shapes from an old book and then gluing them together, adding a ribbon, bow and a charm, which my mom had given me some time ago from an old necklace.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The second bauble was made by cutting out pieces using two of the dies and then gluing them together as above to form a open work bauble.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp3oUjdxd1j-oRG4GUB8zjv-9Csy1cKfu9rAXZxA5pLyreSyrwp9Vy_Ux5tXhkZSaYqvmNoIic8vUULD8G8tC0M4uJpMSxnKXyeHbdPPU6t1ZZfWLkDIUdR-ACc-IEXgRd45J_9iEFeMk/s1600/November+Pic+4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp3oUjdxd1j-oRG4GUB8zjv-9Csy1cKfu9rAXZxA5pLyreSyrwp9Vy_Ux5tXhkZSaYqvmNoIic8vUULD8G8tC0M4uJpMSxnKXyeHbdPPU6t1ZZfWLkDIUdR-ACc-IEXgRd45J_9iEFeMk/s320/November+Pic+4.png" width="236" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My third and final bauble was made by simply alternating two different coloured pieces of card and gluing them together. As I was making this bauble I thought of how you could turn it upside down and perhaps make it into a hot air balloon! A project to add to my ever increasing list! If anyone beats me to it I would leave to see any projects made.</div>

Hi Everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you've all had good weekends. Mine has been lovely and has been spent enjoying the back end of my Birthday last week :-) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway my post today is with my first project for Elliott's Angels - such a proud moment! For this project my subject die was <a href="http://hopeandchances.co.uk/shop/card-creator/mistletoe-card-front/" target="_blank">Spellbinders Mistletoe Card Front</a>. This die is one of the Card Creator dies and consists of the decorative inner layer with the mistletoe and then a 5 x 7 regular frame. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this card I decided to have a two colour tone theme and what better than white and gold.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi62tSqy2nUuK0iH6jXRQVOHe2EUxcSyxK8PRSqm-3y_THkzpxo5rcgrEqx1xyolf91O41Rc9kzLllCGUswBFqKsgLungBxpwRwdF-X8622RMoCMx3QC46cflK5Q8r9Himixkkzwr3wi24/s1600/October+Pic+1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi62tSqy2nUuK0iH6jXRQVOHe2EUxcSyxK8PRSqm-3y_THkzpxo5rcgrEqx1xyolf91O41Rc9kzLllCGUswBFqKsgLungBxpwRwdF-X8622RMoCMx3QC46cflK5Q8r9Himixkkzwr3wi24/s400/October+Pic+1.png" width="295" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rather than have a plain background I decided to emboss the decorative inner plate rather than just cut it out and I quite liked the impression it gave of further leaves in the background. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2hWxoei9rgv7AwbEUANQS4izdDLT_d8WYgyDBlJfnwB7FhFwbQu7dFdxKUCRZTqmOslaerePI6C72VtZIHjPiS8ljpkUe0oZKeJPBxbvJu9hXaEIafcxdN0hVgc9mnr0sXWTJO4QzQ_w/s1600/October+Pic+2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2hWxoei9rgv7AwbEUANQS4izdDLT_d8WYgyDBlJfnwB7FhFwbQu7dFdxKUCRZTqmOslaerePI6C72VtZIHjPiS8ljpkUe0oZKeJPBxbvJu9hXaEIafcxdN0hVgc9mnr0sXWTJO4QzQ_w/s400/October+Pic+2.png" width="295" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I added <a href="http://hopeandchances.co.uk/shop/christmas/layered-poinsettia/" target="_blank">Spellbinders Layered Poinsettia</a> with a gold diamante for the centre. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the sentiment I used <a href="http://hopeandchances.co.uk/shop/shapeabilities/victorian-tags/" target="_blank">Spellbinders Victorian Tags</a> with the word "Holiday" taken from Spellbinders Holiday Sentiments.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hi all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you are all well! If not a little too cold! I'm sitting here in my Craft Room wrapped up in a woollen shawl with fluffy slippers on and I'm freezing! My husband thinks it's tropical, because we've had the heating on for one hour! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, I've not been here for a while, as I've had a most enjoyable holiday in Cornwall, a hen night, a wedding (not my own!), a trip to Blackpool and a change in crafty direction. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to share a box I made to put my daughter's nursery teacher's thank you present in, which I made using Tattered Lace Dies and my trusty old Crafter's Companion Box Board. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8ox60LoZtK0peWOVr6TGnfHcVmOrAm4vyCnC_KXugcO0YlYLIDmkU3tXk_IIGsG2JE0CqYf0S86bFi-XzpvqARlQUGA5vJ4pOt_tDlGQwtTb7QU8XM4YX0wOnq_X-1KRv-kQRFo8arRw/s1600/Teachers+Thank+You+Box+w.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8ox60LoZtK0peWOVr6TGnfHcVmOrAm4vyCnC_KXugcO0YlYLIDmkU3tXk_IIGsG2JE0CqYf0S86bFi-XzpvqARlQUGA5vJ4pOt_tDlGQwtTb7QU8XM4YX0wOnq_X-1KRv-kQRFo8arRw/s400/Teachers+Thank+You+Box+w.png" width="295" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was really pleased with how this turned out and the teacher was over the moon! I made a box using the Box Board and then cut a panel out of the centre. I then die cut from card about five of the Tattered Lace Cherished Hearts Corner and stuck them to the inside of the lid. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And le voila! A fancy bow and a few flowers and the box was complete! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you're interested in the gift I bought for the teacher then I had this made from a seller on Ebay. They had a similar item with a family tree theme, but I got the idea for the wording from browsing the internet. So putting the two together inspired this.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSSJqCnp-evgfXlelrdEX7uvpY70L13edozTl3yU1_AT7_OcWLJ-KRgqUiwSHrVDGMhcTVH8gPYWc5yl9dMSaMO1i-2oZaqORbQHXWmGrBoTBMQ7en2pa2SD6OYBrHINPphxxhcZ08y3I/s1600/Teachers+Thank+You+Present+w.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSSJqCnp-evgfXlelrdEX7uvpY70L13edozTl3yU1_AT7_OcWLJ-KRgqUiwSHrVDGMhcTVH8gPYWc5yl9dMSaMO1i-2oZaqORbQHXWmGrBoTBMQ7en2pa2SD6OYBrHINPphxxhcZ08y3I/s400/Teachers+Thank+You+Present+w.png" width="295" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's my teacher's gifts sorted for the next 15 years lol! Big shout out for the Ebay seller who made it :-).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's all from me for now! I have quite a few things I've been working on over the last few months that I want to share, so hopefully be back very soon!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Stay warm!</div>

Whilst others are outside enjoying the sun , topping up their tans (safely of course!) and bbq'ing the nights away, us crafters are generally locked away in our craft spaces up to our eyes in glitter, fake snow and tinsel! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And here I am back tonight with another of the cards I made for Crafter's Companion recent Nordic Christmas range. This is a gorgeous range and I hope you've managed to grab some of the products to make a start on your Christmas cards. </div>

Hey Everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm back tonight with another Sneaky Peak from Crafter's Companion's forthcoming launch of the Flights of Fantasy Range on Create and Craft on Monday. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I tried something a little different for this Sneaky Peak and using one of the images from the "Fabric Companions" section of the CD I decided to make a candle. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hey Everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you're all well. I've been feeling a lot under the weather this weekend, which is typical as it was my first "work free" weekend in ages! But hey ho, I'm looking forward to the upcoming long Easter weekend! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to share another of the makes I made for Crafter's Companion's Time Gone By launch, which is currently being aired on Create and Craft. </div>

Hey everyone! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm still here and I'm back with a sneaky peek from the forthcoming Pick of the Week that is being launched by Crafter's Companion on Create and Craft on Friday 27 March 2015. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The POW is called Times Gone By and consists of two CD's (paper crafting and a project CD) and 4 A6 stamp sets. This collection is absolutely gorgeous and here's my sneaky peek....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this card I have used 4 of the stamps (the two blackboards, the decorative edge and the sentiment). I have inked them up and then clear embossed them. To give me the chalkboard look I have inked over the stamped image with my Tim Holtz Black Soot distress ink. The papers are from the second CD.</div>

Sorry I'm a bit late, but just back to normal after Christmas celebrations! I wanted to share a sneaky peek of a new crafting range being launched by Crafter's Companion on Monday 12th January on Create and Craft! </div>

Hey everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just a quick one from me tonight with a card I made for my friend's wedding at the weekend. I apologise for the poor picture, but with the dark nights I don't see much daylight in the winter with working all day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The stamp is an All Dressed Up stamp and it was perfect for my friend's wedding card. In fact after showing it to her a few months back she insisted that I made her card using it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was coloured using my Spectrum Noir pens and then I added frantage to the background. The image was cut out using Spellbinders Pierced Circles and the banner die is from La La Land Crafts. The embossing folder is a Crafter's Companion Embossalicious Rose Vine. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Evening Everyone! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you are all keeping well. I've noticed that winter is well and truly on its way with the drop in temperature over the last couple of days, so just wanted to share a card I made for this month's Crafter's Companion Challenge, which is Winter/Christmas and where you can enter <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CraftersCompanion/app_1503479293234516" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I used one of the Bebunni stamps for the topper and coloured it in using my Spectrum Noir pens. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I added a product called Snow Tex to the flowers and edge of the card to give it a wintry feel. I also added some Twinklets to the centres of the flowers to give the impression of frost/ice.</div>

Hiya!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you've all had a lovely weekend. I went on a day trip to Blackpool yesterday and spent way too much on grabber machines. I did manage to win my daughter two teddy bears, so she was more than happy! Intended to drive through the lights, but no sooner set off the car park and she was fast asleep! There's always next year :-). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, I'm back tonight with a project I made from the materials in the recent Crafter's Companion Inspiration 5. I'd seen these wreaths on browsing Pinterest and that's where I took my inspiration from. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hiya!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Had a fab day today, as took my daughter to see Disney On Ice at the NIA and we had a really good time! First time she has been to anything "seated" and she really enjoyed it despite trying to peer around the girl sitting in front with the giant, flashing Mickey Mouse ears! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
On a crafty note I wanted to share another of my makes using the Big Score, which launched on Create and Craft this week. Hope you've all got yours on the way :-). </div>

Evening! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you've all had a good weekend. Mine's been really good, as I've spent most of it with my daughter crafting, baking and helping her to ride her bike. Good times! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway I'm back tonight with another of my makes for the Spectrum Noir shows which start on Create and Craft tomorrow at 12pm. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the SLC stamp "Nicola" and coloured her in using my Spectrum Noirs. Sometimes I don't always feel like making a full card, as it can take me hours, as I'm a bit of a faffer lol!, so with this stamp I decided to make a simple door hanging. It would look great on the bedroom door, wardrobe or even a set of drawers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I created the background by using the Die'sire Chantilly Lace Frame and cutting it out twice on different colour card and then just cutting into the black piece to make it smaller. </div>

Afternoon everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you're all well! I've finally reached the light at the end of my tunnel and am back to a little normality after my dog sitting duties. My husband is away for the weekend and I have nothing better to do than craft, craft, craft! </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm back today with a card I wanted to share for Crafter's Companion's forthcoming Spectrum Noir shows on Create and Craft, which air on Monday 13 October 2014 at 12.00pm (subject to change) and are being brought to us by the very talented Leann. </div>

I used my Scruffy Little Cat Jessica Stamp and coloured her in using my Spectrum Noir pens. "Wild Thing" is an accompanying sentiment and I made a faux banner to stamp it onto.</div>
