REFLECTION IN JANUARY CONTINUED.....

It was fun to have a look at some past makes in my last post, and again thanks for the positive comments at the end, as it is good to know you enjoyed the post and the January reflection too.  As mentioned then I am going to continue with this reflection in today's post, and maybe even the next as there is still so much to enjoy and share when you start poking around in old records, files and memories, and we have barely touched the surface yet.

Again I won't link or name as such (although some are named anyway) so you can just scroll down through the images themselves, suffice to say that the makes were all created by a past or present member of the CI Team with mainly CI stamps or other products.  Some are simple and some more involved, some festive and some everyday, and I have kind of been drawn to piccies with a vaguely yellowish/peachy glow to them today I would say....

















Do let me know if you find it interesting or inspiring or helpful perhaps to do a little reflecting on the past like this occasionally?!

Thanks for looking,
Back soon,

p.s.  Diary Date: Our next trip to the Hochanda TV studios will mean appearances on there on the 4th & 5th of February.  Further details to follow.

WITH THANKS, AND SOME REFLECTION...

Thank you to everyone who left comments on our last post, from Anne, through to Sally and Sherry, and then down to Dora and more, and thanks also for all the lovely new year messages we have received.  Hope you all get lots of time for inky, messy, crafty fun in the weeks to come in 2019.

With it being the start of a new year I thought I would have a bit of a reflective post tonight and look back at some of the lovely makes we have blogged over the years.  Actually there are so many past beauties I have been looking at today that we may have to continue in another post.  The following have all been made either by a team member or myself, some of the teamies have now moved on, and others are still very much on the CI team.  I have grouped tonight's delights in a sort of vaguely blueish theme.  I don't think I will add links or names to these (although some are incorporated), so you can just enjoy the images themselves, with a general thanks to all our clever and very creative teamies....












Thanks for joining me today in this little reflection on the past, and as always I'll be back soon with more great images for your viewing pleasure.

HAVE A HAPPY CRAFTY FULL NEW YEAR....

Here's hoping 2019 is peaceful and crafty full, and here are a couple of journal pages by teamie Chris, the first called peace and tranquility appropriately (check out CI-487)...


...and here is the second (using one of our bird images)...


The following makes all feature birds too...

Here are a couple of cards made by Gerrina...


Plus another by Helen....


And here is mine featuring the same ducks (CI-297)...


The following image features the new Christmas wreath stamp (CI-504), but instead of the Christmas centre wording a CI owl has been added - clever!  I think it was made by Dora.


Next I have a lovely birthday card by Sylvie (CI-389)..



My final two lovelies are courtesy of Flo, and again use CI-389.



Hope you likey the above?!

Back soon,
