City Crafter Challenge ...week 63

Hello and Good Morning to you all ...

Today I am hosting the challenge at City Crafter and I've set a sketch challenge this week ... I am still quite new to doing sketches ... but if you hop over to CCCB you will see that the DT had no trouble at all coming up with beautiful projects ... and our Guest Designer Julie Tucker-Wolek created two beautiful projects ... This is the sketch ...

I chose to flip it and make a sort of buckle card ... sans the buckle!


This is how it opens ...


and the inside ...


I made this for a friends birthday ...


Are you going to join us this week? ... I hope so ... Pixie Dust are kindly sponsoring us again ... and their goods are beautiful and just in case you are worried about the postage ... from someone who lives in the UK I can promise you that the postage is really reasonable ...
Now hop over and take a look at the lovely projects from the DT and our GD ... you will be amazed!

Thanks for stopping by ... have a lovely day

~ Ros ~
