Happy New Year's Eve

Well, it is the eve before 1 January 2012 and what a magical and special time it is. I love this day to reflect and on all that has been over the past year and bless it into the past.

And, to end this year I have created a small set of notecards for this weeks challenge at Our Creative Corner. This week our hostess is the lovely Anne Marie and she has a Bright and Happy Celebration, and this is what she has to say:

It's time to ring in 2012! Create a card for a celebration using these colours - so many celebrations - birthdays, New Year's etc.

This is my set of whimsy cards using these colours

And finally, packaged together with twine

Thank you for stopping by, if you get a chance to play along with us, I can't wait to see your creation!

I'm also popping this into the Simon Say's .... Anything Goes! challenge.

Merry Christmas

A quick posting and final Christmas card for 2011.

I have a very simple card and tag that I made for this weeks challenge at Our Creative Corner, which is being hosted by Sharon Wheet. She is challenging us to create a project inspired from a scene in our home eg, tree, ornaments, wreath etc.

As you can see, my inspiration came from my wreath on our front door and of course, our hanging stockings!

I love this card, so simple so CAS .... I wish I had made this card at the beginning of the season!!!

If you manage to find some spare time over the coming week, why not create something simple or elaborate and join in the fun with us at Our Creative Corner!

And, so on that note .... I would like to thank each and every one of you for stopping by my blog this past year and for leaving your beautiful and heartwarming comments, I love each and every one of them and I appreciate you my readers!

May this season bring you joy, peace and happiness with your family, friends and loved ones and a safe, healthy and magical 2012!!!

With much love and appreciation

Freshly Made Sketches with Cindy

Hi all and thank you for stopping by! This week we have a lovely sketch for you over at Freshly Made Sketches, our hostess is the fabulous Cindy Hall. She has a gorgeous sample card that you are gonna wanna check out!

Here is the sketch:

And, here is my card:

I'm not sure if you noticed ..... but I changed the colour of the butterfly from Vanilla (as displayed on Freshly Made Sketches) to Red - I felt that the red had a bit more boldness to it, the vanilla looked too washed out!

Anyway, I hope that you'll join in the fun with us this week, but in the meantime head on over to Freshly Made Sketches and see what the DT have in store for!

Have a great and fabulous week, and thanks for stopping by!

Anyway, this week our hostess is the lovely Jennifer Timko, it's a great sketch and I hope you can join in the fun with us.

For my card I created this daisy with the SU's Blossom Party and the Little Leaves sizzlet dies. I have used Wild Wasabi, Kraft, the yellow is a super bright yellow from my stash and the sentiment is from Well Scripted.
