I've just issued January's copy of "News and Views" which is Cardmaking-Companion's free newsletter and I thought I'd share with you one of the cards I've featured in it.

Each month with "News and Views" you get free digital downloads and an example of what you can make with them.

This card uses 3 of the free elements - the mottled lilac background paper, the lilac middle sized dotty paper and the "Sister" sentiment. The flowers are from my stash of card making embellishments.

These papers are exclusive to Cardmaking-Companion and will shortly be available from our sister site Cardmaking-Ideas which is due to be launched this month.

If you haven't already signed up for "News and Views" all you need to do is complete the name and e-mail address box at Cardmaking-Companion and we'll do the rest.

So 2010 has arrived, the start of a new decade - let's make it a wonderful Card Making year!
