FF CHALLENGE Milk Carton

here is my entry into this weeks challenge, I used fern green circles and printed on the reverse using 'Love Train 3' green paper. I then decorated it using red ric-rac braid and to seal it I have used red fancy yarn. I have topped it off using the heart shaped mini envelope template from Dovecraft using the same card but in reverse.

Pink Petticoat February Challenge

I have entered the Pink Petticoat February Challenge this month.
The design brief was to make 'Sour Cream Cartons' I have used the cream swirls papers printed onto160gsm card and punched a simple rabbit in a co-ordinating colour. I intend to use these lovely little pouches for the easter egg hunt that I organise for my family children. Each pouch will hold 12 mini eggs.

FF Challenge Faux Stitching

Think I went a bit over the top with this one!! I have created a gift'bag' and card using Love Train 1 pale blue backing paper and 'stitched' using Marvy LePlume Prussian Blue, the card backing has used the same paper. I then stamped using Versa Colour Royal Blue using SeeD's miniatures for the floral garden, I then cut 2 butterflies from a Cuttlebug cut'n'emboss die 'stitched' again then embossed using the swiss dots embossing folder.
I hope you like my contribution.

BIG SURPRISE!!!

I was helping my sister yesterday at one of the farmers markets that I do for her and got back to the farm to off load the produce, I rattled the barn door which they promply opened. My son stuck his head out and said 'Hi mum' I said Hi back and noticed my sister standing by the door, or who I thought was my sister when the door completely opened the lady standing there was my other sister Dawn who now lives in the back of beyond in France, between Beverly(farm sister) and Dawn(France sister) they had planned for her to come over to bring her son to see his dad(very complicated family and a long story).
What a wonderful surprise I couldn't say anything for nearly 10 minutes I just cried and hugged her as I haven't seen her for nearly 18mths. My mum didn't know either so the scenario was repeated later.
We are going to have a lovely Christmas this year particularly as it has been 10 years since my niece and older sister(aunt and niece) died.
I will hopefully get photos and upload them at a later date - probably put them on Facebook.
