Card Crafter's Circle/Challenge #3 ANYTHING GOES

Hello, and welcome!

Well, ask me if I have had a good day.....go on....ask!

Okay, since you insist, I'll tell you.....did not really feel like traipsin' round the sales with one daughter, one 20 month grandaughter, and three grandsons aged 10, 8, and 5.......in the lashing down lane.....but I went......ok....ok.....I might have done it with gritted teeth, but I went.

Gillian needed to buy new trainers and school shoes for each of the boys.......she found bargains for each and every one, and even got the cutest pink ankle-strapped shoes, and a pair of pink baseball shoes for Yvie-Grace......and all for £84......so that's 8 pairs of shoes for the price of what she would normally pay for just two pairs of school shoes for her two eldest......bargain!

I was actually traumatised by this time, because I'd realised, after the boys' feet were measured, that my 10 year old and 8 year old grandsons actually have bigger feet than I do....how could that happen?!

It just might have something to do with the fact that their daddy is 6 feet 8 inches tall......even 5 year old Finlay has the same size feet that I had when I was 14 years old!!

I came home quite chuffed with my ickle self, though........I found the most lovely white shelf unit for my craft room....very pretty!....at T.K.Maxx........and a beautiful large glass mason jar, with a white metal top, crowned with a pretty white metal heart.....it's destined to be filled with pretty things, and will sit on my new shelf.

Ken has promised me new white storage units for my craft room.......my storage, at the moment, is a mish-mash of odd bits and pieces, and I'm fed-up of everything looking so untidy....time for a new start!

Okay.......it's Friday, so we have another challenge, over at the cardcrafterscircle.blogspot.com and this week  we are easing you gently back into your crafty mode by having an

Card Crafter's Circle

Here's my offering, using the BLOOMING POTTY image..........

All the papers are scraps....that scrap mountain just never seems to get any smaller!.......and I distressed all the edges, and rolled them a little........

 

I printed the lovely image a few times, so that I could layer up the foremost flower, and the bow on the pot.......added some sparkle to the layered flower.......also had to smooch some on the edge of the panel....(smooch? heehee)........

The extra prints allowed me to have this little bunch of flowers on the side....again, sparkled up with Mod Podge, and coloured with Promarkers.......took a while, but I like it........

Had to add some cute buttons.......

The lovely sentiment is from Cardcraft Cards, and was the perfect little touch.....it was originally cream, but I thought it would look better in pink...haaa!

I loved this image because it's one of those that could be used for so very many different occasions....and we all need somadem in our stash!

Hope you like!

Hugs,
