Strawberry Tea from The Hobby House

Hi Crafters,
Today I'm sharing a card made using one of the fabulous toppers from The Hobby House featuring Elisabeth Bell images. These sets of toppers are great for quick cards when you haven't much time for colouring...   ...and that's how it's been here these last few weeks so I've been grateful for the help they provide in creating a beautiful but fast card.

The sweet little image is one of six on the 'Strawberry Tea' topper sheet and they are all so cute. The banner paper is a sheet from the My Minds Eye pad - Summer Splash and the number 2 was cut from the pattern on the other side and covered in glamour dust. I used Spellbinders 'Captivating Squares' die for the frame, organza ribbon to match and some dark red brads.

I'm entering the following challenges:

TTCRD - Anything Goes

Brown Sugar Challenge - # 101 Anything Goes

Sister Act - # 64 Anything Goes

Creative Fingers - #42 Anything Goes

My Mum's Craft Shop - #19 Summer or Bright Colours

Elisabeth Bell's World Challenge Blog - Summer

 

Thanks for joining me today,

See you all soon,

Happy Retirement

Hi, hope you're seeing the sun today. It's very sunny here albeit a little chilly, but it certainly makes me feel happier.
On to my card for today though, I have been asked to make a retirement card for someone who will be spending their extra time doing up their house. I thought I would use the tools die that I incorporated in my card for yesterday, here's how it turned out.
