I currently don't own this fantastic tool, but I have had a play with the Circle Scissors from the Summer Mini - it's a lot of fun!

Happy New Year

Wishing you and your family a happy New Year. I hope your holidays are filled with memory-making times, lots of fun and happiness!

For those family members that are not 'cardies', I made up some of my favourite cards from the past few months and gave them and some envelopes as a Christmas gift. This is the box that I made to put them in.

I couldn't post this black and white Christmas card earlier as I made it for my husband. This came out of a challenge to make a card using mainly black and white, which I struggled with as black is not a colour I use a lot. So consequently, this card is really different from any other cards I have done lately. I really like the resulting card.

The words of this stamp from the God's Blessings stamp are perfect for this time of the year...

This card was inspired by a design that one of the ladies that attended my December workshop stamped on the front of her altered notepad. It reminds me of an over-grown garden that has just been disturbed.

This week was my nephews birthday and I used two sweet treat cups to create this card. I got the idea to use rolled licorice for the car wheels from Julia Leece's card and added a trap-door on the inside so that the licorice can be taken out without destroying the card.

As a small Christmas treat, I gave everyone who attended the December workshops last week a candy cane with a little stamped tag.
