Hi there crafty friends,

*********************************************************************************

UPDATE - Since the winner has not contacted me, a new winner has been chosen. LILY, you are the new winner! Please contact me at mzs6666@googlemail.com! Congratulations!

*********************************************************************************

First of all, I'd like to thank you all for the crazy amount of comments and heartfelt messages on my Seasons Givings blog post! Please know I read all and I was trying to answer all but for some reason since yesterday my comments are not being published. This has never happened to me, I have no idea what is going on! I take pride in answering everyone, so I apologize that this time I wasn't able to. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I know I said I'd announce a winner tomorrow but I actually had time, so I picked my winner! And the winner is...LORRAINE TURNER! Congratulations! Please drop me a message with your address at mzs6666@googlemail.com. I hope I put a smile on your face today! :)

I really wish I could give something to everyone, but I'm afraid that is just not possible...However, I decided to send a card to a few of you, because so many of you wrote that you'd be happy to receive a hand made card. That just warms my heart! So here are the ladies that "win" a card:

Lily
Connie G
Annette Gordon
Rebecca Yahrling
Mary Holshouser
Retired Librarian
LC Lamothe
Kilcha Goos
Linda Eterno

I can't promise the cards will be pencil colored, mainly because at the moment I only have a few of those, but I hope you'll love your cards nonetheless. Some examples of what you might receive:

Again, please drop me a message with your address at mzs6666@googlemail.com. :)

Thanks everyone again for entering! I hope I can join this awesome blog hop next year too!

Have a wonderful weekend! X

Sweet - DT layout for Just Nick

Hi there friends,

I'm back today with a new layout for Just Nick! I'm happy to be doing layouts because I've been working on some other projects for awhile and was missing layouts!

I've used the beautiful Henna Heart cut file on this one. I was thinking Valentine's day is coming soon so a heart layout would be a good choice. I adore this cut file! I love the non-traditional heart shape and all the flowers!

I used a mixture of Maggie Holmes' Gather and Chasing dreams collection with a bit of My Mind's Eye On Trend 2.

I started out by designing my layout in Silhouette Studio, then cut my partial hearts from textured white card stock.

I chose some patterned papers that I thought had looked good together and started backing my cut files. I adhered them to the background, except for the bottom one. There I tuck my photo behind the heart first, put 3d foam adhesive on the left side of the heart and then I glued it all down. I also layered some tags, die cuts and tissue paper behind the photo.

Once done, I went through all the embellies in these collections and picked out the ones I thought were a good fit: stickers, chipboards, tags, buttons and diecuts! The beautiful gold mirrored piece I used for my title is from My Mind's Eye. I wrote my journaling on one of the die cuts and stamped the date using a roller stamp.

I hope you like today's inspiration.

Thank you for stopping by!

Till next time,
