Good morning to you ... I hope you are well ...
This weeks challenge at City Crafter is
"Bake Sale"
brought to us by sweet Kirsty ... with this gorgeous inspiration photo
Use something on your projects relating to baking ... images, recipes, cupcake ... or even a decorated home baked gift will suffice
A while ago I saw this lovely little case in the sales for £2.75
I thought it would make a nice gift for someone who like to make jam
So this challenge gave me the opportunity to make a card to go with my gift
I used plain white CS and printed the polka dot pattern straight onto it ... The background paper is My Minds Eye ... tape is Cosmo Cricket ... and the red is Core'dinations ...
The image I cut from a piece of Webster Pages (Cherry Pie)
I've also used stickers from Melissa Frances, October Afternoon and some little chipboard pieces from Jennifer Ellory
This week our Guest Designer is Rebecca Deeprose ... a very talented lady who has been both a winner and spotlight Artist here at City Crafter ... her blog is very inspiring ... go take a look
Our generous sponsor this week is Pixie Dust Paperie ... who are awarding the challenge winner a total of 10 yards of beautiful crinkle ribbon in 3 different colours!
So come along and join us for your chance to win
On another note ...
It's been another wet and wild August bank holiday here ...
There are two major events every August bank holiday in this part of the UK ...
The Matthew Street Festival ... A musical extravaganza where Liverpool welcomes the world to celebrate in our musical history ... upcoming bands, groups and stars of the musical world put on free concerts ... the city is alive with sounds
Then there is the famous Cream Fields event ... literally held in the fields of Warrington not far from Liverpool ... Another 3 day event of live music ... again people flock from all over to be part of this event
Unfortunately on the first evening the rain came too ... Heavily ... The Cream fields quickly became awash ... people in tents had a disasterous time as the rain continued until even the major roads flooded ... By Sunday morning it was all over for the annual event ...

Monday morning heralded another wet and windy day ... the forecast was not good and it was decided to then close the Matthew Street festival too ...
Typical Bank Holiday in the UK!
Enjoy your day

Ros amada...li que não passou bem dias atrás...espero que já esteja totalmente recuperada! E...que sensacional sua maleta com os potes de geléia!!!! Ah...como voce tem uma sensibilidade tão tão appurada! Um maravilhoso presente...com um cartão que completa sua beleza!!! Sinto muito pelas chuvas (NOSSA...que enchente!) e pelos shows...
A fabulous vintage creation....such a shame about the rain!
xx
Oh my goodness! That photo of the flooding is awful. Bet that was a scary place to be for a lot of people. I'm afraid we're going to be facing this kind of flooding with the storm. Things are pretty calm so far but it's a slow mover which is NOT good.
I really like that Jam box you found. The colors are fabulous and I think you did an amazing job of matching your card to it. Fantastic inspiration Ros!
This is really lovely, Ros. It reminds me of an old Bero recipe book that belonged to my mum. Gorgeous little tape measure, spoons and such pretty tied bows x
Oh Ros! I love the vintage style card you made! Perfect addition to the gift box! Love how you added two differect ribbons!
I feel so sorry for the guy swimming in the pool of mud! You can't help the floods when the rain comes down so quick and heavy! Cream Fields sounds like a fun event!
Such a wonderful find, Ros, and your card matches beautifully!Love all the bits and pieces you added! So sorry about all the rain, except for a little here and there, there is drought and traffic on the Mississippi river is halted because the river is too low. Have a wonderful evening and hope your September is not so wet!
What a brilliant set this is Ros! I can see why you couldn't resist this lovely case (especially at this bargain price!) and what a stunningly good looking matching card you made, spot on! Hugs, Ira

What a cute little gift - and the card you made to go with it is just wonderful! The picture from Cream Fields is horrifying, though. When you said it rained heavily I first thought about how nasty it is to be out camping in mud... but this is a whole different league...
This is amazing Ros, they look like the perfect pair, you sure you didn't make that cute case as well! : )
Thanks for helping with the blog, I just got home an hour ago, to my empty nest : (
Time to catch up with all those wonderful blogs!
Ros, I'm still trying to close my mouth.....that scene with tent tops and swimmer leave me gobsmacked!! Your card is fabulous!!! I love the colors and the vintage feel of it~ super!!
This is just a darling match to that cute jam making set. You were able to match it very well. :)

Hugs~
OMGosh, that is stunning and I love the Jam set. Saw one similar, in a sale, a while back and wished Id bought it, but hubby in his wisdom said I would just look at it lovingly and not use it....Like he knows anything haha x
This is so pretty!!! I love this bits... My new fave of yours... hugs...xoxo
Oh, my gracious! It looks like y'all need to share some of the rain. What a bummer!
Your project is way fun! What a great gift, and the color palette is right up my alley! Plus, I adore the vintage appeal!
