So special

Hello lovely people,

Happy New Year!  I was unlucky enough to have a stomach bug for the last few days of 2013 but in general it was a pretty good year.  I have lots of gorgeous new crafting goodies to play with - some from my lovely family and some that I couldn't resist getting for myself as a Christmas treat!  I hope you did too!

And now it's time for our first Crafty Little Fairies challenge of 2014 where we have the theme of...

STARTING OVER

So, we are thinking new baby, new home, new job or anything else new that you can think of!

Our fabulous sponsor this week is...


I sent this card to friends of ours who had their little girl very prematurely 3 months ago when she was finally able to go home from the Neonatal Unit just in time for Christmas :-)


This is from the recent release of gorgeous baby stamps from LOTV and I can see myself using it a lot!  I even pushed myself to do a faint blue background as I thought it might look odd without and I'm actually pretty happy with it.  It seems to have bleached out in the photo below though :-(


Card recipe;
DP: Sofiero collection - Maja Designs
Ribbon / pink thread: from stash
Dies: Precious stars - Memory Box, Timeless rectangles (used as borders) - Spellbinders
Frantage: Shabby White - Stampendous

Copic colours;
Skin: E0000/000/00/21/11
Blanket: RV0000/000/81
Basket: E40/41/42/43
Ribbon: T0/1 & R85
Background: B0000/000/0

So, make it your first New Year's resolution to pop over to Crafty Little Fairies and see what the rest of the Fairies have created and I hope they inspire you to join in with the challenge.

I hope you all have a wonderful 2014 filled with lots of crafting!

Thanks for visiting and I really appreciate any comments that you leave,

Hugs,
Kat xx
