A fun week ...

enjoying the sunshine and painting (the fence) so not much going on in the craft room.  I even forgot to remind you all about the new challenge starting at Aud Sentiments and that is unforgivable as it's a special week too!!
It's our fifth birthday celebration - wow five years of great challenges - unbelievable how fast time goes by.  To support our celebrations we have two great sponsors The Stamping Boutique and Doodle Pantry  so two great prizes on offer.  Hope you can find time to enter as we would love everyone to celebrate with us.  My project will be on show next week, but as you can see in the sneak peak photo it's a treasure!  
Have a great weekend everyone even if like where I live the weather has changed big time.

90 years old and still counting!...

Today I'm showing a card I made recently for a sewing mad lady who has just reached her 90th birthday.  Wow to be still crafting at that age - wonderful.  
The main image is a Hunky Dory topper and the background paper is one I bought from the Silhouette Store.  I think they work together really well.  
Other Materials used...

• brown card, gold mirri and cream base card
• cream lace
• various tag dies
• sentiment printed on acetate and then attached to tags using brads

Challenges...

• Seize the Birthday - just in time to add this entry - anything for birthdays
• Polkadoodles - use a die (tags for sentiments)
• Cuttlebug Mania - tag it
• Pile it on - die cuts or punches

Enjoy the sunshine if like me you are looking out of the window on a bright but cold day.  Roll on Spring.
