Happy New Year! - it is only day 2 of 2014 and it is already shaping up to be an exciting year! I have just received a copy of the new Close To My Heart Idea Book/Catalogue today - the new ( and amazing ) products aren't available until the 1st Feb....but I am happy admiring and planning....especially because I have lots to share with you before then.

Firstly, after the feedback from last years kits I have taken onboard your feedback and I can honestly say this year's kits are going to be "bigger & better" and with 2 options for receiving the ideas I hope no-one misses out this time around! Here is the information you will need if you are wanting to be on my mailing list this year. If you are planning on taking up Option#2 - you will find my online store here with the link to the online gathering/orders at the bottom right of the page.

...head on over to my Online Shop to place your order and learn more about this wonderful offer....while you are there be sure to check out the January Stamp of the Month...it is another sweet stamp set to add to your collection....I "love" it and was excited to find I had extra paper pieces and embellishments in my Cloud Nine Cardmaking Kit to make up this special little card.

 

 

The cotton reel and button embellishments were created from shapes cut from the Artiste Cricut Collection with a little embroidery thread added to the centre of the buttons. This card took no time at all to make up...and because it was so easy I whipped up another.....and of course it had to be Pink!

 

 

I added a little extra dimension to my flower buttons with a piece of  3D Foam Tape. I rather like the raised appearance....and because I cut out additional buttons I think I might follow this card pattern and make up a few more of these cards before the day is over.

 

I'm looking forward to sharing lots of creative play with you this year make sure you stay tuned - follow me here or at Facebook so you don't miss a thing!!
