Simply Square

I'm usually the last person to enter the CD Sunday Challenge, rushing to get it blogged by 1pm, but this week I've managed to enter the day the theme was announced! The theme is Simply Square and today I've been busy finishing a card someone asked me to make for them. A work colleague asked me to make a card for her daughter's 50th birthday which is in December. When I asked what her daughter liked she told me she was quite trendy and was 'one of those people who liked a glass of wine with her evening meal'! I decided to use an image and papers from the Crafters' Companion Frou Frou Cd rom. I have both the CD rom and the Craft Artist digi kits so I played around with them in Craft Artist.


The '50' was also created in CA and I made the hatpins myself while watching Strictly last night.


The dies I've used are Cheery Lynn French Flair Doily Stacker (2 sizes), Cheery Lyn Dec Lace Corner and Sizzix Mini Paper Rosette. The largest pink Centura pearl mat was embossed using a Stamposaurus Stencil.
Confession time! I made a huge mistake when sticking the pink and white layers to the card. I had the card facing the wrong way and the crease is now at the top. I'm taking the card to work tomorrow to show her and if she wants it changed to a side opening I'll have to cut the front off and glue it to a new card blank. Fingers crossed that she likes it as it is!
I came second with the above card.

    Hi Pamela. What a surprise - but a good one. You seem to have some lovely dies - many that I haven't seen used before. Your Doily stacker looks interesting. Love the hatpins.
    Thank you for joining in with us again.
