Today is my last post as a Cupcake Craft Challenges GDT, sob!  I have thoroughly enjoyed being a guest Cupcake for the month of August, thanks for having me ladies!  Today's challenge is

ALTER IT

and boy did I shudder when I read this one!  But actually I really enjoyed it, once I'd decided what I wanted to alter, lol!  And here it is...

A boring old notebook!  I thought I'd try and get myself a bit more organised with my DT work so I bought this notebook to write all my upcoming challenges in.....do you think it'll work?  Well at least it now looks good anyway, lol!...

A close up of Sugar Nellie's 'Daisy'...

Cupcake Crafts GDT!!!

Morning All!

Happy Monday to you, wow can you believe it's the 1st August already?!  Scary stuff ay, lol!

So, this is my first post today (1 of 3!) and yep you've guessed it.....I'm a GDT for Cupcake Craft Challenges wahoooooooo!!

I was actually booked in to be a GDT in  April, but cleverly broke my wrist so the lovely Faye let me postpone my GDT slot to August, thanks for having me hon  :o)  

This week the challenge is How Old so we want to see birthday creations with a number on them.  My God Mum asked me to make her friend a card who would be celebrating her 70th birthday, the brief was she loves to cook and loves James Martin, lol!  So I thought this would be the perfect card for my GDT card today, here it is...

As it's a 70th birthday I thought she deserved a special fold card!  Here's a close up of the front fold.  I tried to make another picture frame, this time using heart dies...

And a close up of Chef Tilda...

The back part of the card...

And another close up!...

The inside of the card...

And a side view...

A nice and simples challenge for you this week!  Head over to Cupcake for some more inspiration and welcome Maarit to the team too  :o)

See you in a bit peeps!...
