Hello!
Welcome to my little crafting place! Here's where I share the things I've been making, and sometimes other bits of waffle!
This week the Daring
 Cardmakers are back with a new kind of monthly challenge in the First Friday spot.
This year, on the first Friday of each month 
there will be a
Monthly Sentimental Challenge
We all find ourselves needing a card for a particular 
or special reason, don't we? And sometimes it would 
be good to have just the thing ready to send. 
So once a month we'll concentrate on a specific sentiment.
With it being the first friday oif February there was only 
one sentiment to choose, don't you think? 
 
Be My VALENTINE
 (or celebrate enduring friendship with a GALENTINE)
As usual, we'll share our ideas and we'd love you 
to join in and keep the inspiration going.  Back in November I was sent what would be the December Wax
 Seal iof the Month club kit from Spellbinders.  I made a bunch of seals
 using it but didn't get round to using many of them on projects, It was 
the run up to Christmas and life was hectic!
But
 I knew I'd revisit this fab seal as it was going to be really useful 
for all those romantic occasions and even just for sending a hug  
 
The seal has an indented heart shape in the centre of a scalloped oval and is sooo pretty! I remembered that an earlier Glimmer
 of the Month Club had a 'cross stitch' plate and thought I could put 
these two things together and make a Valentine for my hubby
  I
 made a tassel from gold thread and used an alphabet set from Sweet 
Dixie that he'd added to my Christmas Stocking.  Its such a lovely font,
 but oh my, is it fiddly!
 I matted the red fancy panel onto gold card, then onto a card blank of the same red card.
If
 you are interested in the monthly kits I've used, use my link to 
Spellbinders below and look in the Clubs section for 'Past Clubs' and 
you may be lucky enough to find them still available.
 I'll let you in on a secret - this section is a real treasure trove, and definitely worth hunting through for past gems!
