Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year everyone and I wish you all health, wealth and crafty happiness in 2024!! 

Before I share my make for today I just want to say a BIG thank you to you all that sent cards, gifts and good wishes for Christmas and the New Year xx

We've had a lovely little christmas break at Allsorts over the festive period and we are back today revived and raring to go!!

Lynn has chosen a terrific mood board to inspire you 


and here is what I made using

Candy Cane Stripes and Winter Florals as my inspiration.



I've been dabbling with junk journals and other paper based projects and used this freebie from Pink Monarch Prints. It's an unusual way to present a gift card and was a print, cut and stick sheet. I didn't have a gift card to use, so improvised!!

Sponspors are AALL and CreateCraft StashPolkadoodlesOakwood


I look forward to seeing how you interpret the optional challenge.

Thank you for visiting today, with the festivities over I fully intend to catch up with you all soon.

Have a lovely weekend xx

Hi Sarah, I am so sorry that I've hardly been around commenting over the majority of last year - it's not really a good excuse but life! I'm determined to do better this year and here I am!!

That's a fabulous gift card you've made there - I really like the rustic look of it and could see it being a combined card and gift card in the one package!

Hope 2024 is good to you and yours.

Sarah

Happy New Year!
A wonderful project and a great take on the mood board theme. Would love to see your junk journals as I have been thinking about making one and just tea-dyed some papers in preparation for it.
