I was really pleased with the Black 'n' White Christmas card I made in December, so I re-made it as a birthday card. Stamping and cutting out the flowers, then adhering them onto cardstock and re-cutting takes time, but it is worth it for the effect.

You have seen this Upsy Daisy card before when I posted it early December...

I made this Tic Tac Toe set a while ago but didn't get around to putting it up here. This project uses the Candy Lane DSP and Priceless stamp set to alter a tin CD case into a classic travelling game. To make each peice magnetic I punched out 1" circles from plastic-coated advertising magnetics and stuck them on the back. So hold on to those 'throw-away' magnetic you get from Real Estate Agent/Banks/Insurance/etc... they come in handy!

Here is the Butterfly Prints stamp set and matching Butterfly punch from the Summer Mini again. This card was a swap I received from Juliette.

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.
