Giveaway winners, my Lili of the Valley winnings and my Mini Moo cards and stickers

Thank you to everyone who put their name in the hat for my 2nd Bloggerversary giveaway. Thank you also for your kind comments. I really do enjoy writing Jane's Journal and it gives me great pleasure to see you also enjoy reading it. Without further delay there were 17 ladies who asked to be counted in and so they were put into my ever trusty straw hat and drawn out by the adjudicator of my draw (dear Hb). He picked out....drum roll....

1st prize Teje
2nd prize Susan 

Well done ladies. I shall be in touch. Teje wins my special Olympic Badge and I decided to make a bag charm too for her ;0) She chose blue with sewing charms.
These are a couple I sold in the past so I can make something similar for her.


Susan was happy with any colours/theme but I am sure she will probably like something knitting related!
I am sorry there can only be 2 lucky winners but you know me there is always a future giveaway to look forward to.

I woke up to some winning news myself that I have won none less than a £25 gift voucher from the Lili of the Valley Idea to Inspire blog.....I was doing a happy dance when I saw  my name there. As you know they were my first love when I started stamping and they still are. Their sweet images just rock. I recently bought just a few things from the new release and now I can really splash out. Terrific, thanks girls.

I also wanted to share in this post my recent delivery of Mini Moo cards. I am not sure if they are a UK only company? This is most certainly not a commissioned advert from me as sadly I can't share in the discount code, but with my recent delivery they are offering a 15% off by entering this code at the checkout.

to any 1st time customer. I was delighted with my newest order as I decided to try using photos of some of my cards as well as my jewellery, which is what I have done in the past. This is what arrived recently in the post.


 My card photos look great and I have started to put them in with my Etsy Shop Orders.




These are some of my jewellery photos
I used.






I also decided for the 1st time to try one of their Sticker Books and I was so glad I did as they really are sweet and look fab stuck on the outside of my envelopes.









I think I am hooked...my next order will definitely include more of these sweet little stickers.

I can hardly believe that today is the first of September; how did that happen? I noticed yesterday morning when I got up for work that there is a definite autumnal feel in the air and the mornings (and evenings) are getting much darker. I therefore decided that I can start to safely use  Christmas cards for some of my card challenges. As every card maker knows the time between now and Christmas gets so busy that it makes great sense to try to get some made now. I have actually sold several already in my Etsy shop so it is obviously not just me who likes to get organised ;0) Here is today's card. Of course after my winnings today from Lili of the Valley it just had to be one of their images.She is called Moonlight Wishes.


This was one of my favourite stamps from their release last year. I have used a sheet of paper from the gorgeous new paper pads they have released (I can now buy another ;0)



I coloured her with my Promarkers and highlighted her with my Prismacolor pencils. I had fun using my new Viva pearl pen and added lots of snow. I also added lots of snowy die cuts and punched snow flakes. The final touches of course how to be plenty of glitter!

I really want to thank LOTV for their generosity!

I would like to enter my cards into the following challenges;

Divas by Design Celebrate #50

  5. Hi Anne, that's good that you can get Moo out in the States, I love them. I hope your card will be with you really soon, my last Etsy order I sent to the States got there in 5 days which I think must be a record for snail mail ;-0) Have a great weekend,

  12. Hello Jane....I have had such a busy day preparing for Ashley to leave for Madrid tomorrow and taking a quiet 5 mins to read my emails this was the most wonderful surprise and totally unexpected...I am so thrilled as your bag charms are beautiful!
    I would dearly love any of your designs but now you have mentioned knitting related I have to say that would be lovely and if it makes things easier to choose a colour I would pick blue but I will be delighted with any colour too!!
    Congratulations on your own win Jane and your cards and stickers look fab...I think I may order some myself...
    Skipping off for my cocoa!
    Sweet dreams,

  54. Lovely giveaway prizes, and happy blog anniversay (I'm back reading yet again - I need to try to make more time for blog reading so I don't get so behind!) The moo mini's and stickers look great, I especially like the seaside jewellery cards, they make me want to go on holiday! Nice Christmas card as well, great colours, I am ready for the change in weather to be honest, I know we haven't had much sun but I need to change into my winter wardrobe. Beth/thelinencatx
