CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS DT POST ~ HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It's a new year and a new month over at Creative Inspirations Challenge.  This month's challenge is "Something New or Something Old"!

We'd like to see your creations featuring something new to your craft stash. Whether you treated yourself to a new stamp or some papers ... or you could do the opposite and use something that you've had sitting in your stash for ages that's become neglected! For example a favourite stamp that you haven't used for years ...

Please state what the item is that you have chosen.

This month's prize is from a brand new sponsor that have kindly agreed to join us for January! CLEARLY BESOTTED are offering the winner a $15 GIFT E-CARD!

For my card this month I have chosen to use a new stamp set and stencil that I have recently purchased from our wonderful sponsor this month.   They have a great range of stamps, dies and stencils for all your creations.

Apologies for the poor photo - lack of natural light.

CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS DT POST ~ MASCULINE OR HALOWEEN

It's a new month and so a new challenge at Creative Inspirations and this month's challenge theme is "Masculine or Halloween".  We've decided to combine two themes this month that don't usually get much attention, simply pick one to play along!

This month's prize is from CRAFTY RIBBONS and the prize is a selection of these ribbons!

For my card this month I have chosen to go with a masculine theme.  I think these cute hedgehogs can be used for either male or female cards and I have combined it with masculine colours.
