Happy New Year ….

Good morning crafters …HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all!!

I hope you’ve all had the best Christmas ever and managed to find lots of time to do some crafting. As usual I’ve done far too much eating and drinking and I’ve made the same New Years resolution that I’ve made for the last 20 years and that’s to lose some weight. I usually get a week in and then it all goes horribly wrong   …maybe it’s time to find something new!!

As promised here are the rest of my favourite cards from 2012 …

this first one is by our Fleur,  I love everything about this card and it would be perfect for any little boy (or big boy!)

Fleur has used the Sailing Boat stamp

 

 

 

It’s not long since I showed you this amazing little advent calendar that Lou made but I didn’t have to think for long about which was my favourite piece of work from her this year. Lou had got the most amazing imagination and eye for detail, we have this in the office and it is just amazing in fact I’m going to put it away until next year now and then it doesn’t get spoiled.

She’s used the Build A Snowman stamp to create this adorable 3D scene
 

 

 

This is a card that Mindy made for us when she was a guest designer at the beginning of the year

She’s used Patchwork Bunch Of Balloons on this lovely card, we were so excited about these stamps back in the Spring  …it seems so long ago now!
 

 

This is a little calendar made for us by Moni. Again how do you pick a favourite from so many wonderful cards but I do love this and think it would make a lovely little gift

She’s used Best Friends which is one of our older stamps but so cute!

 

 

 

 

Finally my pick of Pop’s lovely cards. Pops made this using the Geisha Girls (this one is Aimi) 

It’s such a girlie colour scheme and it’s worked really well with this image – it’s a gorgeous card

That’s it from me, I hope you like the cards that I’ve chosen to share. We’re back in the office on January 7th so the Design Team will be carrying on with the posts until then so there will still be something new for you to see every day. I’d like to thank the girls on the team for all their hard work throughout the year, I’m sure you’ll agree they’ve given us some fabulous inspiration
 

The website is still open for you to order but please remember that any orders we have over the holidays won’t be sent out until we return on the 7th

 

Have a great day, and again  …a very Happy New Year!
