As You Like It Challenge - #66 Favourite Hobby & WHY

Hi Crafters,

I think I can safely say that my favourite hobby is Card Making, followed closely by Papercraft.
I just love making cards, I find it so relaxing to shut myself away in my craft room and create all sorts of cards and projects. It helps me to de-stress and unwind.
I am sharing two cards today using lots of embossing and dies...






Recipe
Background Embossing Folder - Magazine Freebie
Corner Dies - Joy Crafts 6002/0135
Champagne Glasses - Marianne Designs LR0237
Words - Britannia Dies

Thanks for joining me today and for all your lovely comments.
As this goes live I shall be browsing the stalls at the Birmingham NEC Crafts For Christmas Event and no doubt spending a little on more crafty stash - we can never have too many dies or stamps, or papers, or ribbons, or cardstock, or..  well all of it really he, he.
I'll share a picture of my goodies when I return.

See you soon,

Lorraine

  5. This is stunning Lorraine, white on white always scares me a little but I should take a lead from this as every little element stands out so well.

    Hope you are enjoying the NEC and will leave a few things for tomorrow as looks like I am going to be able to go.
