As I'm unemployed at present I have lots of time for crafting and below is something that I knocked up yesterday to enter the Card Patterns challenge with.
Not my usual style but I quite like it all the same, I wonder what you think?
I actually got my sewing machine out! Shock Horror!
and managed to sew in a relatively straight line for once.
The stamped images are both by SU, the sentiment is by Kaiser Crafts and the Cuttlebug embossing folder is Victoria if my memory serves me correct. All other materials are from my stash.
I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:
Stampin for the Weekend
Charisma Cardz
Everybody Art
where the theme is Anything Goes
So until next time it's ttfn from me and thanks for looking.

ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you lost your job, lets hope 2012 brings us all a bit more luck, it can`t be any worse than 2011...can it?
I agree with you about the telly too and I love Only Fools and Horses. I watched the one where the baby is born, all by myself, howling with laughter, funniest thing I`ve seen in ages.

ReplyDeleteYour card is absolutely stunning Fiona and I just love the pretty matting and embossing with the lovely colours - just my sort of card.
ReplyDeleteI'm really sorry to hear about your job as it's the last thing you need with all your other troubles. Hope you find something soon.
I too am looking for more book-keeping work having lost quite a lot due to the recession.
Wishing you a Happy New Year and hope 2012 brings better things.
Hugs, Fliss xx
Very pretty and delicate.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your job. I agree, 2011 is best left behind.

2012 is going to be amazing Fiona, I can feel it.
ReplyDeleteDidn't know you'd been made redundant so good luck with the job hunting.
For the first time in years I was out NYE but before I went I checked the TV listings and thought to myself that it was rubbish!
See you soon.
Jaki

Very pretty card! Lovely details and the placement of the butterfly is perfect. Great take on the sketch!!
ReplyDeleteHello again Fiona.
ReplyDeleteJust read your comment and 'Yes' my sister did go to Ifield. Did you know her back then?? I think she was in either Warren or Tizard house. My brother and I were both in Denman but that was 10 yrs later.
How funny....it's a small world after all!
