Hello friends!
It gives me great pleasure to start another month's of January "Show & Share"!
I am amazed at the responses and would love to continue this monthly feature.
Here is one of the posts that I came across.... it is from a talented blogger Kim Skinner.
I took a screen shot of her post and I truly hope what Kim wrote will convince you to join my "Show & Share". I find it so relaxing to visit blogger's posts and leaving some blog love....

"Show and Share".
The main goal is to challenge you to create and share with our fellow card-makers.
I am hoping that all participants in this monthly feature can give each
other some blog love, offer encouragement and get inspired! Are you
gamed!?
This is how it works:
Each month, I will post the link on the 9th day of the month and it will end on the 29th day of the month. On the last day of each month, ONE winner will be announced.

Isn't this Golden Swan Die divine?

As you can see, I had fun dressing up the swan. Noticed my swan doily ? You see it almost in my every card photo. It was my best purchase while visiting Bruges in Belgium two summers ago.

(die only) and some of the ephemera (not the card kit).
FYI: for Spellbinders, there are are really good deals here!

Pretty swan card and the swan doily is perfect for the photo's background.
Very pretty swan die cut. Love how you dressed it up. I guess this is not available here in the US. Good find and good buy!-Maria Giselle B. (https://ienjoywhatido.blogspot.com)
Clemente, The Spellbinders Card Kit IS available in US and shipping in US is free with order. ( I am in Canada, so the IP address was in Canadian currency. I corrected the link now). Thanks for the comments!
Think you've mentioned this before...somehow my swiss cheese brain didn't get it but I've got it now and will be participating in the future. You've used this gorgeous swan before, as well. Love the additional golden wing...it really adds so much to her. And the joy of seeing real Bruges lace (and such a lovely example of it) is a real treat.
Beautiful Virginia. Your swan is amazing.
You are a very special lady to do this to each month. Inspiring us and then encouraging us too.
Love the Golden Swan! Pretty card!
This is beautiful, Virginia! And I have to agree with Kim, you are one of THE best commenters out there! :) Thank you for another fun challenge, too!

Beautiful card, Virginia. Thank you so much for a super fun challenge here on your blog. I've always loved your challenges, as well as your cardmaking style. :o) Hugs!!
