Valentines cards and muffin!
Made a concerted effort this year to make and send cards out this year, a lovely excuse to show people how much they mean to me.
Here's the card I made for Tom, used the Color Inspiration on Kristina's blog for this.
Ingredients:
Stamp - Anna Griffin
Punch - Fiskars and Woodware
Ribbon, bias binding and doily from stash
The boys and Tom made me some valentines muffins... here's the one I was presented for breakfast, still warm and gooey!
The 2 older boys got their first valentine cars this year from a secret admirer *wink*, they really enjoyed the chocolate on them!!! I think Tom is still making mine, he's preaching twice tomorrow, so I'll forgive him.

DCM - Oriental
How timely! The DCM challenge was to make an orintal themed card without Red and Black.
I've just got my hands on some beautiful character images that are perfect for colouring. Please watch this space for more info about them, I've got a project brewing *wink*
... let me know what you think of her!
The outline of the image of black, so hope thats ok!
Used a punch I got ages ago to put the nicks into the corners of the card squares, and then wrapped embroidery floss round it for an `oriental' feel.
And yes... I inked the ribbon! Nothing is safe from my ink pad! The knot was done by cutting a piece of the ribbon to size then knotting the longer piece round it. I was pleased with the results as it created a flatter, less bulky knot.
Ingredients:
Paper - HOTP
Flowers - Prima
Punches - unknown
Pens/pencils - Derwent watercolour, sakura gel and souffle.
Ribbon, floss and brads from stash.

SALT - Discipleship
It was Hazel's turn this week to set the theme, I have to confess I've not meditated on this theme as much as I hoped to.
The reason I used the verse is as I was thinking of what to do, a song called `Take up your Cross, follow Jesus' came to mind. Have been thinking about what it means to `deny self' too.
We're still open for applicants for the Salt Design Team, please check out the details here, and if you feel inspired to take part, please let us know as we'd love to see what you create!
Ingredients:
Paper- Basic Grey and DCWV
Stamp - Basi Grey
Punches - McGill, Leone Em, Martha Stewart and Dovecraft
Swirls - Quickutz
Flowers, key charm, string and ribbon from stash

DCM - patterned paper
The DCM challenge this week was to use 3 different patterned paper, and if possible from 3 different manufacturers, a double tick for me this week :)
I also tried distressing the edge of the paper with a seam picker. That's the second haberdashery tool I've been using recently, the other one being this wheely thing with points on to do faux stitching, it's fab!
I'm not convinced that my choice of papers work, they do clash slightly, I'm hoping the colours in Tilda bring them together.
Not a huge amount of snow today, enough for the odd snowball, but not sticky enough for a snowman :(
