One Stop Craft Challenge #10

This is my entry for Shelley's sketch challenge at the One Stop Craft blog:

4 New Year's Eve Challenges

This is for challenge #1: Rings!

Challenge #2: Black & White with metallic embellishments

Challenge #3: New Year's resolution...

... to enter more challenges ... and to make use of the lovely buttons which were a birthday present. I kept my resolution - until now at least! Here is one example:

Challenge #4: Birthday card

One stop challenge

This week's One Stop Challenge is all about groups of three. I don't normally use this number much in my crafting - maybe I should start to? - Anyway, here is a rare example of an altered notebook where I actually did use it. There is a little odd story behind it: I set out to make a bereavement card. Then I was told that this did not look like it was ever going to become one - so I changed direction (for the better I think - I never enjoyed making a bereavement card for some reason...)

New year, new candy...
