CRAFTY CALENDAR AUGUST CHALLENGE - ANYTHING GOES


Hello there peeps!  I have been soooooo busy lately, Mrs Mojo went for yet another tramp in the woods (dirty girl) and I was left scratching my ar head!  I only had three cards to make but boy have I struggled!  The anniversary card I made for my hubby was definitely the easiest (sick bucket at the ready) 'cos it came from my little soft heart!  Seriously though, it did!!!!

Anyway, I must thank you for all the comments on my last Christmas card, it was so simple to make and I received the most amazing comments - I really am chuffed to bits!  I would also like to welcome my newest follower, Tamesis, thank you for joining this merry little band of bloggers.

Right, now for my latest card - this is one I made for the Crafty Calendar DT - we are sponsored this month by Hobbybook and they have some really wonderful images!  I chose this one to colour ('cos I like red and saw the opportunity to do a red and white card with some red spotty card that I had unearthed a while ago).  This could be a birthday card but also a Get Well Card - I think she has some nice chicken soup in the bottom of her basket as well as the bread!  Who said 'here she goes again, her and her food'!!  The theme this month is everyone's favourite 'Anything Goes' so we really would like to see your cards in our challenge.

Thank you for visiting my blog again, I really am grateful to you and apologise profusely for not commenting on your cards as often as I should.  That doesn't mean I don't pop over to see what you are making though - 'cos I do!!  I must now go and do a little ironing - haven't done any for three weeks!  Oh joy!!!

Please take care, I hope you are all feeling well - sending a big huge hug if you aren't!

Hugs to you all

  8. Hi Sue
    You do make me smile!
    Super card, though I think soup may leak through a basket lol! I would hope for something more exciting, like a bit of cheddar. . . . . . . cake and a bottle of something!
    Hope Blossoms diet is going well and no more messing with tramps in the woods!
    Best wishes.
