AND FOR OUR PRIZE THIS MONTH WE ARE SPONSORED BY  Jennie & Denise from J & C Creations who are offering a fabulous £20 Voucher to spend on the website
The Design Team  will be posting some fabulous creations on the J & C Creations blog to inspire you over the coming months.  The website features lots of crafty products and the blog is easily linked for you to purchase items seen in the projects.  We have Sues Technique Tuesday and Thrifty Thursday, Jacquis Friday Master Class, Natalie showing us the 12 tags of 2013 from Tim Holts and a whole lot more.  The team will also be showing off their talents throughout the month, so do come and visit us.  Click the logo to the side of the post to be transported to crafty heaven!

The Challenge title this month is SOMETHING OLD AND SOMETHING NEW.  So you need to dust off your oldest crafty stash and your newest finds and combine them together.

To enter this months challenge, please post your entry on your blog and use the InLinkz box at the bottom of the competition blog post to provide a direct link to your project. The rules have slightly changed in as much that we only require 1 item which can be purchased from J & C Creations to be featured on your project.  Please include this on your blog post. The Challenge will close at 6pm on the 12th February.

As always, could we ask a huge favour please; could you help to make our job at leaving comments easier by turning off comment verification and enabling comment moderation instead. Please, pretty please, it’s ever so easy to do  and you won’t get spam comments as you can easily reject the comments that you don't want to appear. Also, can we remind you nicely that it’s fine to combine challenges but please, no back linking.

Sometimes it is not possible for the Design Team to leave a comments on every entry with these Blogger issues that some of us are having at the moment, but please be assured that we do stop by and we are doing our best and every single eligible entry goes into the draw for our prizes even if we don’t manage to leave you a comment.


Here is some inspiration to get you started on this month’s Challenge, we will be posting more inspiration throughout  January.

Colour the leaves using the Bamboo Leaves dye ink.
Die cut 3 pink flowers using the smallest die and assemble together, glue inside the flower and add some of the pink sprig embellishment to the middle.
