Spots and or Stripes at Crafty Calendar

This month at Crafty Calendar we are sponsored by A Day for Daisies who are offering a $12 gift card as this months prize. The theme is dots, stripes or both, I chose Amy Hen (blue apron) and teamed her with Mary hen which I already had. Added just a little colour to their bodies using Promarkers. My elder son often says "just checkin in" when he phones home, so I used that as my sentiment, home means getting all your meals cooked for you and I loved the idea of hens wearing and apron.

Buttons and bows

Apologies for the poor quality of the photo, it's a really dull day. This months challenge at Crafty Calendar , which is sponsored by A Day for Daisies  is buttons and/or bows.I used an image I already had, Birthday Frog and a sentiment from TLC, I coloured the frog with Promarkers, the colours are much brighter IRL.

CD Sunday Birthday Challenge

CD Sunday are celebrating their 6th Birthday with a different kind of challenge, you are being asked to select a card from a  previous challenge and show it again. Not nearly as simple as it sounds I spent ages going over cards and almost gave up. In the end I selected this one which I previously posted here my daughter-in-law chose this style of dress when she and my son were married last year.

Thank You

First a big Thank You to the CD Sunday team for inviting me to contribute as a Guest Designer for the next 3 months.  I try and participate in their challenge regularly and am delighted to contribute.

The challenge for today, chosen by Carol is "Gorgeous Gowns "

When I received the challenge guidelines I decided to make a Thank You card for my new daughter-in-law's work colleagues who helped her achieve a 50's look for her wedding day. I believe this is called a swing and jive dress now, and is what she wore with a huge petticoat giving a full skirted appearance. She looked stunning, when they decided to have a very small wedding they didn't stick to any traditions at all.

I found paper piecing this digi quite easy apart from the tiny bows on the shoulder which were really fiddly.
