Book Card

On Sunday I went to a Bristol Craft day - it was organised by the fabulous Sue and was the first of the big Bristol playdays, with 19 insane crafters in one room, laughing, making and eating! it was fantastic - it's been agreed on that it should become a regular thing, so if you fancy joining in the fun on the 2nd Sunday of the month head over to Sue's blog (Playingwithpaper) for more information!

Anyway, this month's project was book cards - now some of us in the room *will mention no names* had been playing with the project prior to the session and so put us all to shame on the day by not only completing the project but making a card everyone wanted to take home! Me, on the other hand, was chuffed to have got all but the inside panel and the box made!

Now, I claim no originality in the design - I saw a card of similar design somewhere and it was stuck in my memory, so many thanks and kudos to whoever it was that created the original. Nevertheless, it was a design my mother would love so this is my card to her for mother's day!

If anyone wants to know the project ingredients specifically, let me know but they are pretty much as you see them!

I hope you like it, I hope my mother likes it, but most of all thanks to all the fab ladies who were there on Sunday!  it was a fantastic day - I loved learning a new project and here's to the long and ongoing success of the Bristol Playdays x

  2. I love your card Naomi, & it looks even better "in the flesh", I can see myself borrowing elements of your design for inspiration for a similar project in the future. Hope to see you again before too long xx
