Doing The Happy Dance

Good morning, happy Wednesday, and Happy New Year! Well how can you follow a new year and a new decade, other than to announce a new challenge at Country View Crafts! Our first challenge of the year has been chosen by Monika, and it's LOVE. Here's what she has to say.

This month I will be your hostess and I chose the theme LOVE but in a broader sense. I don't think about only romantic love. You can love your mother or father, your sister or brother, your daughter or your son, your dog or your cat. You can even love your job, your hobby or your life! Any love is welcome here :-)  

Here's the birthday card that I made for my sister at the end of last year.

 I started by making a painty background with a gelli plate and some DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics, then added some stamping.

 The PaperArtsy Zinski sheep have also beens stamped onto gelli prints and cut out. My Trish Lattimer girl has been stamped onto fabric, I think she looks rather fetching in polka dots.

 I also made some red hearts for my background.

And here we are, all done. My sister loved it, and I hope you do too. A very happy new year to you all, my crafty resolution this year is to use up some of my stash - yes even the good 'best' stuff. What is your resuloution this year?

Have a brilliant January, and thanks so much for looking x
