CRAFTY CALENDAR - JANUARY - SOMETHING NEW!!

Happy New Year everyone - I'm hoping for a healthier and positive year for all of us.  Mind you this bloomin' weather isn't very healthy at the moment and I really am thinking about all of the poor families out there suffering because of the floods.   Take care!

 I'm now posting my very first card for 2016 as a member of the Crafty Calendar Challenge DT - our theme this month is 'Something New' - now that could be anything - new home, new baby, new crafty item, new fur baby (just had to get that one in!!) so the scope is endless.

We have two sponsors this month - All Dressed Up, who are giving two digis as a prize and Wild Orchid Crafts, who are giving a £10 gift voucher!  The digi I've used is from All Dressed Up - Wendy Burns who drew this gorgeous image lives in Nottingham just like me - woo hoo!!!   I've used a new die (ooops, just spilt the beans to Winnie)  and a new doily for my 'Something New' items on my card.

 Ingredients

 Digi - Little Skater from All Dressed Up
7" x 7" White Card Blank - Anna Marie Designs
DCWV - 8" x 8" Citrus Stack pad
Grand Scalloped Square die - Spellbinders Dies
Classic Scalloped Circles Large die - Spellbinders Dies
Curlicues die - Tattered Lace Dies (NEW)
Snowflake SDD007 - Sweet Dixie Dies
Snowflake punches
Copic Markers
DecoArt Glitter
Cosmic Shimmer Clear Varnish Lacquer
Square paper doily - NEW from Ebay

 I haven't popped a sentiment on this one 'cos it's going to be the first one in my 'card stash' box this year and I didn't use typical winter colours either because she's at the Nottingham Ice Skating rink!  Ta da!!!

 Anyway I just hope you can do a little bit of crafting and enter our first challenge of 2016.  

 Lots of big hugs to you all - 
Love Sue xxx
