Celebrating small victories this month, I managed to finish up the following:
- A dress embellishment. Admittedly it was the only thing in the packet but still...
- A sheet of Stampin' Up retired cardstock. That last piece took some ingenuity but be hanged if I was putting it back in the box!
I made 6 one layer cards in January, including this one for today's LOVE challenge over at Sweet Stampin' where we are sponsored by the Ribbon Girl with a £10 voucher to the shop. In keeping with using stash, see that border stamp peeking out three times from behind the circle? Brought a set of them from Lakeland in the very early days (8/9 years maybe!) and that's the first time I've ever used it. Shocking huh?!
I've used a sketch from Sketch Saturday #346, this week was pick a sketch of your choice, I went for #254 challenging myself to see if I could make it one layer. What do you think? Honest opinions welcome....
I'd also like to play along at the following challenges:
Simply Create Too #78 - Valentines/Add a Heart
Now I'm of to make the most of a day to myself & create some more cards. I hope you all have a lovely day too, we've had snow here this morning, the hugest flakes I've ever seen! So pleased to be in the warm xx

This is very pretty Abi and I love the CAS design. Perfect anniversary card!
Wow Abi...had to have a closer look to check it really is one layer! It's beautiful, and well done for using up stuff and using never before used stamps!

Gorgeous card Abi, well done on using your stash, aren't we all crafty hoarders? I almost forgot myself yesterday, I was on the verge to buy new shiny schtuff.

Thanks for the tip about heating up the stuck stamps Abi - I'm so impatient I just cut round the stamp and backing sheet. Well done on using up your stash - I really could do with following your example.
