My poor old computer is not having a good time at the moment. Graham spent ages last night trying to make it perform faster and he has done a fantastic job. Now I have just knocked a cup of coffee over the key board. I did mop it up pretty quickly and left it on its side for a while and I am now typing with my fingers crossed that nothing else goes wrong.
I haven't made many cards today as life seems to be taking over a bit at the moment. I have managed to make one card to show though -
The image is one that I bought yesterday. It is by Woodware and I just had to have it. I used up a selection of off cuts of paper and card from my stash to paper piece the boat and make the matts. Blue buttons and ribbons were also leftovers. To finish off the card I added lots of 'pretend stitches' around the matts to match the stitching on the image.
I will be entering this card into the following challenges:
Crafting for all Seasons - Buttons and Bows - 4.2.13
Jellypark Challenges - Button Up - 7.2.13
Crafty Sentiments - Buttons and Bows - 3.2.13
ABC Christmas Challenge - B for Bows or Boys - 4.2.13
Creative Inspirations - One for the Guys - 4.2.13
Fairytale Challenge - Stitching (real or fake) - 15.2.13
Enjoy the rest of your day
Hugs
Hayley and Graham
Oh that is such a sweet card, Hayley. Love that sailboat. But I am sorry to say that your card won't qualify for a prize this time, because we like to see a Christmas card at ABC Christmas Challenge. Hope to see you next time. Luv, Wilma
