Though it's snowing I can smell Spring in the air...

It's been snowing the whole afternoon and evening here in Cambridge to my joy as winter is one of my favourite seasons.  Always bringing  the most positive in me, it reminds me of my childhood back home in Serbia. 

It makes me feel creative, positive and productive which resulted in lots of crafting today.

I  spent the whole afternoon creating some new Toread cards - lots of stamping, and colouring with Spectrum Noirs.  

There was a hot cup of coffee as well. You just cannot spend such a lovely afternoon without some coffee and glancing out of window to enjoy snowflakes.

Tools & Materials used:

• Toreads stamps from Crafter's Companion
• Spectrum Noir pens from Crafter's Companions
• Various embellishments and random papers
• Collall glues from Crafter's Companion

Some more of 2013

Just love making calendars for this New 2013 which are all made from various Debbi Moore Designs CDs.

There they are:

The start of the year with Garden Fairies from Debbi Moore

  Every beginning of a new year must start with a gift. 

My motto is: 'You don't give you want receive', so I decided to make a special and useful gift set for a friend.

This little present is a calendar for a new year that we are already in and a useful pack of sticky notes.

The materials and tools that I use are:
