Good Morning All
It is my turn to host the Challenge this week at Allsorts and I want to see Satin & Lace.
I made a box to hold some shop bought cards that I was given, some were too good to cut up so I thought I would make some open boxes. Some I shall give to Linda from Animal Aid, to use as raffle prizes and some I shall take to a craft fair I am doing on 21st June in a nearby village.
I used good thick card from Lidl, paper from My Minds Eye, satin green ribbon and cream lace. A couple of flowers made from the same paper with buttons for the centres.
I have put 20 cards in the box so someone will get a bargain.
When anyone gives me cards, either used or new, I always try to re-cycle them or I will cut the backs off if they are plain, and use for embossing on my cards. My regular followers know I cannot throw anything away.
When I do the craft fair I am taking some of my ols stash that I never use and will try to sell it off, just to get rid of it.
