CD Sunday Plus Challenge # 134 - Hosted by Meg

 Good morning and welcome to my blog.

I hope that you are getting some sunshine in between all the rain!  Doesn't it make you feel so much better when the sun is shining?

I am still slowly sorting through all my craft supplies!  I'm determined to get it all done!  My current project is sorting through and labelling all my dies.  It's quite some task!

I've recently introduced a close friend to crafting and am sorting out some craft supplies that I can pass on.  It gives me so much pleasure that these items will be used.  I'm also regularly sending crafty items to a Children's hospice, and of course, I continue to fundraise for Guide Dogs in memory of my parents.

Today see's the start of a new challenge over at CD Sunday Challenge Plus.  The advantage of sorting out is that you find stuff you forgot you had and are able to put them to good use.

My card for today was made for my teamie, Carol's birthday.


I used charisma and dies from the Portmanteau collection from Tattered Lace, which is my favourite collection.  The oval frame was die cut using Teardrop and Sweep dies from Carnation Crafts - which have been my only crafty purchase in a long time - I love them!

The banner the sentiment is sat on is a Spellbinders die, and the sentiment was cut using Hunkydory dies.  Pearls from my stash were added to complete the card.

I do hope you'll join in our challenge.  Full details of the rules and how to enter can be found on our challenge blog.

Thanks for visiting.

Your beautiful frame encloses the florals and butterfly perfectly Jo.

This is so pretty Jo and well done on having a sort out of your stash. I did sort mine a while ago but I think I need to do it again!

Carol said...

Yes, I am the lucky recipient of this lovely card. Jo must know me well as it comprises many of my favourite things. (I should burst into song).
I love butterflies above most other things and own so many Tattered Lace and Carnation Craft goodies I could open my own store.
Thank you again, Jo.
Hugs
Carol
