February Blog Hop at Just Inklined



 Good morning all!  It will probably be another cold and dreary winter's day, but we are going to try and brighten it up for you.  As it is the first Monday of the month, we have another blog hop at Just Inklined.  As I am the hostess this month, I get to choose the theme...and I've chosen the 'out of the box technique', a definite favourite of mine.  So, get yourselves comfortable and enjoy...as you follow along the hop.  Be sure to leave your comments along the way, for your chance to win one of the spot prizes.


 It's hard to believe that we are already in February, but hopefully that means spring is just around the corner....and that will mean gardening.  For my card today I've used the Pot Pourri Garden image, and you will see that the apron extends outside of the die cut.  Once again I've coloured with copics, adding DI to all edges to give it a vintage feel. 

Supplies used:
Papers from K&Company - Julianne collection
Spellbinders - Labels Twenty Two die
Corner stamp from Stampotique

Well I do hope you enjoyed your visit, and now you need to head on over to Gaynor's blog, who is sure to have something special to share.  I've listed the hop order below, just in case you lose your way.  Enjoy!

Joyce (that's me), Gaynor, Karen J, Dawn, Tammy

And a few challenges for my card:

Moving Along with the Times - Punch It Out 
Craft Us Crazy - #36 Cutting Machines or Favourite Technique
By the Cute and Girly - Roses Are Red
Cute Card Thursday - #254  A Different Corner
Stampin for the Weekend - Something metal (gold brads)
