Not Just Cards - Always Anything Goes

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

Here we are at the start of a new week. There is not  long left until Christmas and there is still so much to do. This isn't easy with a husband with one hand who gets very tired as his hand heals but it could be worse.

This is my last Design Team post for the Not Just Cards Challenge blog. I had been thinking about this for a while and when my husband had his accident that finally made up my mind. I having been finding it difficult to keep up with all my commitments and with my husband being ill that has become even harder.

The new challenge starts on the Not Just Cards Challenge Blog today. The theme is always Anything Goes and there are sponsors and prizes. The image I used came from Julia Spiri and her online store.


When I saw this beautiful image called April Elf I felt that she deserved to be in a frame. So I printed her large and coloured her with a mixture of Promarkers and pencils. Then I made a frame with my Sue Wilson Double Pierced Rectangle Noble cutting dies. I did cut acetate to cover the image. 


I made the flower with a Spellbinder die and the leaves with the Faux Quilled Leaves die. 


I might put this on the side in the dining room it does stand up on its own and she is very pretty. 


Enjoy the rest of the week. 

Happy Crafting

Hugs Jackie
