Gee whiz, it's been ages since I've posted. I am a very bad blogger! I haven't been totally idle though, I've started thinking about making stock for my Christmas Fairs. All my Christmassy stash has been taken out of the cupboard and some of the non Christmassy stuff has been stuffed back in it's place! I daren't open those cupboard doors now for fear of an avalanche!
Anyway, I'm here with a card for the new challenge over at Crafty Cardmakers and More. One of our new DT members, Pamellia, has chosen the theme THE TRIPLE B CHALLENGE. She would like you to include 3 of the following on your creation:
Butterflies
Blue
Birthday
Banners
Buttons
I've chosen Blue, Birthday and Banners as it just so happened I was sewing some blue bunting last weekend, so I used some of the left over scraps on my card ...
I used: Blue fabric scraps, a Stampin Up sentiment, blue card stock, oval dies and an SU framelit.
When stitching onto card use an old needle and a longer stitch length, so that you don't get too many holes in your card and go slowly!
And here is the said bunting, though it's not finished because I didn't buy enough bias binding and when I went back to get more, they didn't have any more! So I had to go to another shop this morning where luckily they did have the colour I was after and also some Christmas fabric just happened to jump into my basket, so expect some Christmas bunting and stockings to follow!

Have a lovely week.
Take care
