Christmas Card Club. Challenge 11 is Humour

Here we are again two week have now gone and we in Scotland are still in Lockdown. Not that I'm complaining, I am not reassured enough to want to go anywhere.
Now we are in Challenge 11, and Rachel chose the theme of Humour. I had to revert to images for this one as out of the hundreds of stamps I have, yes, non with humour (Sod's Law ). My first card I though was fun and of course that's why I chose it. A white base with layers of Kraft card and brown card.  made a label and tied with some hessian. My second card is cream card layered with red card, then my sentiment edged with glitter. I do hope these are okay for your challenge Rachel.  Keep Safe Everyone. Hugs Rita xxx

Vintage Cushion and Mini Model

Hi Everyone. Hope you are all ok as things can be very difficult for us all during this time in our lives.  Last week was my precious daughter Annie's birthday, and most off you who know her will also know how much she adores vintage.
Well this is what I made, an 18" X 18" cushion. All of it was made from very old lace, doileys, anti-macassers ( chair backs ) and embroidery pieces from the early days. most of it was hand sewn apart from the calico cushion itself that I made to hold all these bits and pieces from years long gone. The Mini model was also designed and created by me and sometimes I felt totally out of my depth, fingers took their toll with all the hand sewing. I had to make the little coat-hanger too. Hope you like it as much as Annie did. The card was made before I started sewing, so at least I never had to think about it.  Stay Safe my Friends.  Hugs Rita xxx

Christmas Club Challenge.10. Door/Window

Hello Again my lovely Friends and fellow crafters.   Once again time has gone like the clappers and 2 weeks since our last Challenge.
Well, Margaret would love to see a Door or a Window and I'm afraid I don't have either, so for me it will be Anything Goes and again I found a very old wooden stamp that all those years ago I loved and it has been in a box to go to our Local Hospice craft group.   Both cards are using the same stamp. one is embossed and the other has been stamped and coloured. My box is getting quite full already and it's only May.  Stay Calm and Carry on Crafting.  Hugs Rita xxxx
