The card I would like to share with you today is one I have made for a friend who is currently in hospital undergoing chemotherapy. As flowers are no longer allowed in hospitals, I thought this was the next best thing:
I used Lynda Chapman's white card to create the card base, gingham card from Create & Craft and Charisma images from Tattered Lace for the flowers. I then die cut the vase and flowers using the accompanying Tattered Lace dies, all from the Katy Jackson Graceful Garden Collection.
Although the Tattered Lace decoupage designs do take me longer to put together, I have to say they are well worth the effort, and I love the charisma images and I am not the best at colouring!
I would like to enter my card into the latest challenge over at CD Sunday Plus Challenge Blog - Challenge 20, Anything Goes.
Yesterday, hubby and I took our youngest daughter Emma to Lancaster University ready for her to start a 4 year course in Maths. I cried all the way home! I am so proud of her and all her achievements and now hope she settles in well and enjoys the course. I am missing her like crazy!
Finally, can I please ask for your advise? I am soon to be getting a new craft room. I am moving from our smallest bedroom to a much bigger room. I have loads of ribbons, both on reels and loose, which I seldom use because they are not in any kind or order. Please could you tell/show me how you store yours? I am determined to have them more accessible in the future so that I will finally get to use some of them. Thanks in anticipation.
