I hope you all had a wonderful christmas and that Santa bought all of you some lovely crafting goodies
I wish you all a very happy and healthy new year

Its now time for our new challenge over at
Forever Friends Challenge Blog 

and our theme for this fortnight is

Anything Goes

Our sponsor for this challenge is

Delicious Doodles

I have made two projects, one a bookmark using one of our sponsors images and a perpetual calendar using Forever Friends images

Here is the bookmark I made for my friend Julie as a little extra birthday gift.

The image I have used is called Butterfly Bliss and has been coloured with the following Copics, E0000, E42, E50, R20, RV32, V12, BV0000

I have also used a Die-namics die, a Cheery Lynn butterfly die, a mulberry flower, a punch for the stamen and some gems

and here is the Forever Friends perpetual calendar

I really enjoyed making this calendar as I had never made one before, there are lots of online tutorials for these so check them out in blogland or google "Perpetual Calendar"

I have used a Cheery Lynn butterfly die, lilac gingham ribbon, circle and scalloped circle nesties and my Cuttlebug Olivia alphabet set for the numbers.
