If so, you are right on track. if not there is no need to worry you can set yourself back on track using the full blog line up at the bottom of this post to move along from blog to blog so you don't miss any of the amazing creations from all the talented ladies in the Crazy Crafters team.

We are kick starting the first blog hop of the New Year with the classic and timeless theme of Black and White. Now I realised with this theme I didn’t have any Stampin’ Up black and white patterned paper so I had to think of a way to make my card without it. This is where stamps can be your best friends.

I used the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to stamp the doily design from the Happy Day stamp set on Whisper white paper to create my own patterned paper.

The lovely Tamie Holt whose blog you just came from taught me the technique for the amazing roses I used on this card, they are so cute and easy to make and I just love the little extra they add to a project.

I loved making this card as it really made me think outside the  box in order to stick with the theme of the hop due to the fact I didn’t have the usual resources I rely on when making a card. My normal process is to first pick the patterned paper I want to use and build from there, it was fun to challenge myself without having any patterned paper and making my own.
