Hello everyone! I had a lovely birthday celebration with my husband on the first of the month and then celebrated with the kids and grandkids the following day. I received a wad of birthday dollars earmarked for craft supplies!
Today, my husband took me round to the local scrapbook stores in our area. I managed to locate some more 49 and Market design paper and embellies, for a vintage book I am making featuring old black and white photos of my Grandparents. I have some birth and death records, Grandpa's army records, and my Grandmother's Nursing Certificate, as well as lots of old photos. I am excited to start this book!
I used Random Org to draw our winner. The first name drawn had left a message that they were only playing for fun. The second name drawn was Clare #4.
Clare, I was delighted to read your name as that is my middle name and you spell it the same way as me. In my country, Claire is often the feminine spelling and Clare is the masculine...I have spent my life spelling mine out letter by letter to ensure the correct spelling. It is amazing how many times you have to provide your full name for documents etc.
Clare, could you please email me at maureenkane@telus.net and provide your mailing address. Thanks.
As it is my birthday today, I will draw the Feb Rudolph Days Challnge winner tomorrow on March 2nd. We have a busy day today with outings for lunch and for supper. The kids and grandkids will most likely visit till quite late so it is better if I delay writing it up, taking the winning number photo, and then posting it. This way, I can spend that time having some extra family fun!.

We are welcoming our newest design team member this month. A big welcome to Marjeta of Marjeta's Creative Company blog. Marjeta has coloured this fun Christmas gnome and made it up into a lovely card for our inspiration. I love the vibrancy of the colouring and beautiful shading here. Hope you will pop over to Marjeta's blog and leave her some praise. You can hit the translate button to get an English version.
Here is the image as Marjeta was colouring it...so pretty!
Next up is Sam at Whispers Cards blog Sam has made up two beautiful cards using the same general design but featuring differing snowflake background die cuts and differing colour schemes. They are both so lovely! The first card is a lovely lavender creation. The large snowflake frame behind the adorable snowman is lovely with the multi pastel coloured snowflake design paper behind. Sets the perfect scene for the little fellow.
The second blue schemed version features an intricate diecut snowflakes background. It looks stunning in that glitter paper!!! With the addition of the extra overlaid snowflake, it makes a perfect backdrop for the sweet little snowman! The "snow" at the bottom of the wee snowman looks true to life...Lots of layers here and all so well done! I can not pick a fave of the two colour schemes as they are both my faves!
No update on Al yet. He has had the new heart ultrasound and other tests they needed, and he is awaiting a call from the specialist to book an appointment for the reuslts. Will update soon as we know.
Our prize this month is this lovely LDRS Creative Layered Pointettia Die.
