Hi there ... I am back this morning with my City Crafter Challenge post ... where I am hosting this week and we have a very talented Guest Designer ... Monica Skadsem from Norway... If you are into Shabby Chic .. you really need to visit her blog and see the fabulous creations she's made for this week's challenge ... it's AWESOME!!
The challenge I have set is to create a card, tag or project which includes some sort of pocket ... I was inspired by these lovely creations from Recycled Rita ... you can find her post of these HERE

Aren't they just the prettiest toilet rolls ever? I've been saving my toilet rolls too just so I can make some of these ... probably with my group ...
I decided to go for a card as I so wanted to use my new things from PTI ... and this is what I came up with
This is a double pocket card so I could get two pretty tags in ... I made the pockets by just folding a piece of double sided TH paper that was cut to about 8/12" X 11" ... then I stitched it to my card ...
This is how it looks without the tags in
... and these are my pretty stamped tags ...
For the buttons .. I first adhered my paper to CS and then cut them ... just to make them thicker ... and the little pin that you see on my card is from Stella ...
I hope you will join us ... I love seeing your creations ... please take a minute to visit the rest of the DT and see their Gorgeous creations too ...
See you later!

Your card is stunning, with or without the tags.

I have been making things out of toilet rolls for a while now, before I started to blog. So much you can do with them.

Beautiful challenge, Ros, and beautiful challenge card! Love the blues!
What a fabulous post Ros! I never would have thought to recycle the toilet paper rolls like that! so fab! You pocket card could not be more gorgeous!!!
What a sweet pocket card with some surprises tucked inside, lovely colours, too!
I just looooove your pocket card. Every thing about it. The colors look Fabulous and you didn't miss one single detail.. Did I say how much I love this.. :)
I have to admit I just love this challenge.. THANK YOU!!
Hugs, Linda
This is absolutely gorgeous!!! Ilove it. Can't wait to paly with my PTI stamps.
P.S. I didn't sew the lace to the card I made it my selfwith a very smaal crochetneedle..
I think pocket cards are running a close race with tags as being my favorite and these are gorgeous
Wow. I am going to try to make that same pocket. or pockets I guess. When challenge blogs call their designer reveals "inspiration" this is exactly what they should mean - I am so completely inspired by this, and I know I am going to come back to it again and again. Thanks Ros.
Brilliant Ros! This is such a brilliant piece of work, love that double pockets, and love that soft blue + cream, of course the PTI stamps, great idea for the challenge and great work here! : )
This is just adorable....I cannot wait for the button dies to come back in at PTI so I can get them AND this stamp set......maybe I'll go check RIGHT NOW!
Fab projects Ros. I love the little baskets. i had a sweet blog friend send me one of these little pretties filled with goodies. I LOVE them. :)
Hugs~

Oops of track....sorry....

Hope your feeling a bit better...XXXXX
ps I'm glad you liked the pins..XXXXX
Wow! First, your card is beautiful! I love all the PTI products that you used. The paper you used looks like linen fabric to me. "Sew" perfect for your card theme. And the photo you used for the challenge...I would have never guessed toilet paper rolls! Very, very cute idea. I just may have to start saving them myself. Thanks for sharing.
ok i was already BLOWN AWAY by this amazing card when at the very end i realized the beautiful vintage button cards tucked into those fabulously gorgeous double pockets are NOT vintage...you made those, too??!?!???!?!? HOLY WOW, missus!!!!!!!! seriously! i think i must sit at your crafty feet and study to learn things LIKE THIS! ♥♥♥
(ps: those are toilet rolls in the beautiful gift bags?! geeeeez! you & your lovely friends are just SO CLEVER at the re-cycling!!!!!!!!!)
I love it Ros! I'm crazy for that color blue!! Love all the Papertrey Ink supplies!!! Beautiful!
Beautiful! Love the different pieces they are a beautiful set.
