Morning all! I hope you are well and happy. Thanks so much for the lovely comments on my hanging yesterday - you're so kind! Just to let you know we managed to raise £499.45 for Macmillan yesterday so thats really amazing! So pleased!!!!
Today I've got two sewing themed cards to share with you - the first features the Makey Bakey mice from Crafters Companion - I just love this image particularly - had to have it!
The embossing folders are also from crafters companion - the A4 patchwork folder and the 8x8 buttons folder both from the everyday range. The diecuts on the front are from spellbinders and the one on the side is sizzix. The mice were coloured with promarkers.
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Crafters Companion Embossing challengecrafterscompanion:
Totally Papercraftstotallypapercrafts: Stitching
cardmaniacardmaniachallenges: use buttons
My second offering today is one i made for the Joanna sheen forum cardswap - the theme this month was patchwork.
this image is from the paper shelter and I've used the crafters companion patchwork embossing folder again. Colouring again is by promarkers.
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

ReplyDeleteTwo fantastic cards Rachel, and well done for yesterday, that was a great amount you raised. Sadly at the girls school if it's nothing to do with Fairtrade the head master just won't let it happen, the next little hamlet along the road held the event so hopefully they did ok. I just hope one day he won't need the services of these brilliant nurses, (oh I hope that doesn't sound terrible) he wouldn't even allow the children to do a cake and candy stall for cancer research without half of what they made going to the Fairtrade fund.
