Anyway, to cheer me up, there is a new challenge today at Top Tip Tuesday, and the theme to play along with this week is "Cross It" - either a criss cross card, or use ribbon / twine / paper weaving in a "criss cross" way.
Not only was this my first week of actually following a tutorial on the challenge (last week was a "free for all" tipper week), I actually offered to write the tutorial (there is nothing like jumping in at the deep end !!!). But to be honest, I had wanted to make a criss cross card (or a 'hugs' card) for a while, so when the opportunity arose to make one as a tutorial for TTT, how could I turn it down!!!
I do hope that you can follow it, and I really look forward to seeing your creations this week.
Click here to see my tutorial. It is a great type of card for putting gifts in for friends, like gift certificates, theatre tickets, holiday vouchers etc.
Our featured Tipper will receive a prize from Stash Books, and our random entry winner will receive 5 digis from Di's Digi Download.
For my card, I've used an adorable image from Wiff of Joy, that was given to me by my lovely Incy Wincy & StampFairy teamie, Chris - Thanks so much Chris, I really love it.

Annette your tutorial on TTT is just amazing! You are obviously a natural 'Tutorial Writer' ;)
I had never made one of these cards - until I had the opportunity to see your tut early for our DT cards and I'm so glad I did! I will be making many more 'Hug' cards I think!
Your card is fab too - I love the colours and your image is so sweet.
