Crafts Galore Encore January 2020

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! AND HAPPY NEW DECADE!

I hope you have all had a pleasant time over the festivities. It's been a busy time of travelling and celebrating with family for me. Our special little girl was delighted that Father Christmas listened to her wishes, thought she was a good girl and brought her the toys she'd wished for. Happy times!

To kick start the new year, and decade, on my blog ....

.... There's a new challenge at  

Crafts Galore Encore Challenge Blog. 

Thank you to everyone who joined in with December's challenge. The winners have been announced on the challenge blog. This is a month long challenge and you can enter up to three times. There is a full list of rules on the challenge blog. We have new DT members to introduce too!

Our theme every month is the popular

"Anything Goes"

and our sponsor this month is:

Oddball Art

who are offering a $10 voucher for their store to our winner.

I have made a card to celebrate the New Year.

The card base is 6"x 6" (15 x 15 cms). The first layer is pale yellow Papermania card topped with a blue Papermania textured card.

The image I chose to work with is called Party Girl. I think she looks quite pensive. Maybe she's thinking of which New Year resolutions she should make and break? She, and her cute little kitten, were coloured with my Copics and matted onto yellow card.

I printed the sentiment at the same time as the image. The balloons were created with an X-cut punch, tied with blue thread and stuck down with foam pads. I finished the card with three blue gems.

Now please visit the  Crafts Galore Encore challenge blog where you can see the fabulous projects and cards created by our talented design team using Oddball Art images. You can also meet the new DT members.

Grab some inspiration while you're there and enter your "Anything Goes" creations in the January challenge.
