8x8 Display Piece, Golden Wedding Anniversary, Easel Backed

Quick post today...

Sharing yet another 8x8 display piece that I was asked to make in a similar style to a commissioned blue and white one that I made just before Christmas.

As I loathe making 8x8's and I hate gold it was inevitable I would not be happy with this!

Oh well...

One day I'll be asked to make something I actually like...  then I'll not want to part with it!

At least that's a silver lining, I suppose?!

Craft Consortium 'Wildflower Meadow' Card, Happy Birthday, Shrew

It pays to be a frugal crafter when it comes to saving scraps of paper, doesn't it?

After all, if you save the pennies 'here' you can spend them 'there'...

But do you ever look at your tiny scraps collection and wonder just what on earth you are going to do with them all?

If the answer is 'yes', maybe this idea will help...

As you can see, it's a quick and easy make...

One topper, four same sized rectangles cut out from one design, one slightly larger rectangle cut from another, a sentiment, twine and sequins - all backed on to an embossed piece of kraft card cut slightly smaller than the card base with just a hint of ink around the edges.

It doesn't get much easier than that!

Baby Card, Patchwork, Panda

One or two of you may possibly recognise this Panda from a tag I made last year.

My husband had asked me to make yet another dreaded 8x8 card - this time for a woman in the office due for maternity leave, so I had the idea to combine this tag with a patchwork theme.

Patchwork and Nature have nothing to do with each other, I know.  But once I have an idea I just have to try and make it work...

Try being the operative word, but hey - it kept me busy for a while!

'Inventive' was the word they used in the office!

Silly hubby thought it was a compliment...

Me?

It's an 8x8 so I'm gonna hate it to some degree or other not matter what.

But that dungaree charm IS just THE cutest...  don't you think?

Just playing catch up and trying to stay on top of things...

Hugs to you...
