I have had an amazing week! Firstly it was my birthday (21 again!) and I got a new all singing and dancing paper trimmer from my husband (I picked, he paid, ha ha!). The girls from work were amazing and I was given a little sewing machine so I can now do stitching on my cards. I have made the rather large assumption that I will be able to take it out of the box and be a pro right away... so it may be a while before you see any stitching on cards!
Yesterday I got the exciting news that I had been successful in the DT Call for Craft Your Days Away! I'm so pleased - especially as there are so many talented crafters out there! My first card for them will be on the 17th March - I can't wait to find out what the first challenge is! Also my card got picked for their top 3!
So here's a card I made last night - it's for my Sister-when-my-brother-in-law-finally-puts-a-ring-on-her-finger-To-Be. It's her birthday next week.
I used the sketch from Papertake Weekly, I think I'll add that to my file to use again as the card came together quite quickly! The image is from The Stamping Boutique and the papers are MME.
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Sassy Cheryl's - Spots and Dots
Everybody Art Challenge - Monochrome
Papertake Weekly - Sketch
Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes
Paper Sundaes - Circles
Lexi's Creations - Monochrome
Ladybug Crafts - Pink and Girly
Catch the Bug - Anything Goes
Thanks for looking!
