SSW2 - Sketch 271

 Here is my first card for this months challenge at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2

I used a Cuttlebug Happy Birthday embossing folder, Blush Rose papers which came from Craftwork Cards, the ribbon is from the Hobby House and the little dots are from Sweet Huni Designs.

The sentiment is a Dreamees stamp. 

Most of these items are no longer available but I am sure many of us have items with a similar vintage in our collections.

Critter Crazy #83

 It's time for another challenge at Critter Crazy Challenge and here is my DT card

I created this Double Z Fold card using an old Craftwork Cards Kit Enchanted Woodland.

The sentiment die I think was DoCrafts and the stamped greeting is from Juile Hickey Designs Daisy Medley.

Card to create the base was in my stash and possibly came from Craftwork Cards

January Blues

Towards the end of last year I purchased a decorate your own calendar from the lovely Julie Hickey. As part of the cost there is an inspiration workshop in a Facebook group each month and I am sharing my creation for January.

Here is a close-up

I really enjoyed creating this. I have used various blue distress oxide inks, I think Tumbled Glass and Broken China.

Stamp is Peter's Snowdrops from Julie Hickey Designs Designer Series range which I  coloured with Copics

Stencils also from Julie Hickey Designs are Backgrounds #3 and Hazel's Circle Medley

Thank you for visiting

I am entering this card at Allsorts Challenge Blog where the theme is January Blues, hence my blog title and not because I have them.

and also Stamping Sensations - There are snowdrops on the mood board (Thank you Carol for the heads-up)

I'd also like to play along with the Anything Goes theme at We Love Stamping, and although these stamps aren't new into my stash I hadn't used them before this project so that takes me to the 

NBUS (Never Before Used Stuff) Challenge which I haven't entered before but it shouldn't be a problem for me to enter many times over
