Hi everyone and Happy New Year. I hope you all enjoyed your celebrations over the festive period and didn’t over-indulge (as if lol!). I’m sorry for the long absence since my last post but it’s been a hectic few weeks.
I was lucky enough to win a challenge over at Quirky Crafts challenge a few weeks ago and my prize was a guest designer spot and I’m here to share my card with you. The challenge is ‘new beginnings’ and will run for the next two weeks. I decided to make a calendar as it is the beginning of a new year:
I have used a very neglected stamp from whiff of joy called ‘shopping willow’ as I think I will give this to my shopaholic friend lol! I decided to make an easel card calendar as it will sit nicely on her desk. I’m sorry the pictures are a little dark but I took it late at night!
I can also enter my calendar into the following challenges:
Aly’s Sunday challenge – anything goes
The Crafty pad challenge – anything goes
OSAAT challenge – anything goes
Order of the opus gluei challenge – It’s new year baby (some new, year-ish or baby related)
Sentimental Sunday challenge – celebrate friendship (the calendar is for my friend)
Whoopsi daisy challenge – free and easy
Anything goes challenge – the letter c (my calendar)

Created 4 fun challenge – sketch
The shabby tea room challenge – welcome to 2011 (& 11 elements on your card) I’ve got 3 different papers, 1 cardstock, 1 image, 1 sentiment, 2 flowers, 1 butterfly, 1 calendar and 1 lot of gems!
I hope you enjoy your extra day off from work tomorrow (if you’re lucky enough to have one). I’m excited as I have a week off from work this week, so some shopping trips for me I think lol! Whatever you’re up to have a brilliant day and thanks for stopping by.
