Thanks so much for sharing all your sparkle and shine creations with us last month. We had some gorgeous entries and in no particular order my Top 3 are:
What's not to love with all the different techniques and products used to create all the sparkly and shiny snow for that cute Snarkly cat to play in - perfect!
The sparkle and shine as the mirror card and gilt catches the light on this card looks amazing and matches the wizard image and magic birthday wording perfectly.
Finally my Special Mention goes to:
There is so much sparkle from the holographic card and combined with the shine from the Shimmer card panels and embossed penguin it turned out beautifully!
Thanks so much for playing along with us, I enjoyed seeing all your sparkle and shine makes and reading your posts. Hugs Jo x

More hearts and flowers
Hello it's Jane here again with my 2nd DT make for the February hearts and flowers challenge which I am hosting. For this make I have used some products from the new Visible Image spring release which you can pre order now from the Country View website. It is released on the 11th Feb so you could be one of the first to own these awesome new products. I made a very spring themed thank you card, with lots of heart and flowers!

February 2022 - Hearts AND Flowers
Welcome to our February Challenge. This month the theme is Hearts and Flowers and has been chosen by our lovely Jane. We hope you will enjoy joining us in this challenge and there is a £20 gift voucher for the winner
I am delighted to be the host for this month's challenge. I chose the theme "Hearts and flowers". Please note the purposeful bold type...you need to include both on your make.
I went with a heart die cut and 3 of my very favourite Visible Image flowers and made this birthday card;
Good morning and a very happy Tuesday. To celebrate the month of romance I've made an anniversary card using both hearts and flowers.
Thank you!
I hope you have all had a great start to the year. Here is my first project for the hearts and flowers challenge:
Pop over to my blog to see what products I used to make this card.
Hello everyone, for this project I show you how to mix traditional craft with digital and how to use a die cutting machine to bring it all together.
Hi everyone! For my first project, I'm sharing an art journal page of red poinsettias and hearts which were created using Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits.
Hello and happy February!
For this month´s challenge I decided to make a trio of ATCs with hearts and flowers!

We still have 10 days left of our January challenge. There are lots of sparkly entries already and we would love to see more!Hello it's Jane here today with my 2nd post. I made a sparkly birthday card which I gave to my Hb yesterday on his birthday.
Enjoy the rest of January,
