Georgia s Birthday

Its my Great nieces birthday so I made her a can can scarf  in lovely shades of jade, purple and blue, it was very quick to knit up and I did enjoy my first step back into knitting for about 20 years!!!.  When deciding on a card for her I decided to carry on the colour theme and I scanned the scarf onto my computer and printed out the result using it as backing paper. I used a Sugarnellie stamp and coloured her with promarkers (and yes I did need to buy 2 new ones!!) and trimmed the card with a section of the knitting yarn.      I even made the box!!!!!! So all in all I did it "my way" I just hope she likes it

Thanks for looking and feel free to comment (cos then I know you have been)

A card for a very Special young man/Sugar bowl challenge

This card is based on Erika s Sketch for the Sugar Bowl Challenge with the added theme Patchwork

The image is Sugar Nellie "Worried" and I have used some beautiful papers from the V & A collection which are based on vintage fabric samples from the museums collection.    I was working on this card when the new MSE card making section chose the new challenge for this month and it sure fits the brief which is " Hugs and Cuddles" so two challenges at once yeh!

The recipient? my beautiful grandson who will be 1 year old next month, oh how I wish I could cuddle him but my arms will not stretch to NZ.
