Hi Everyone, thanks for your continued support with
comments especially with me running behind with all your lovely blogs. Today, I
am delighted to be sharing my post as a Guest Designer at Craft Hoarders Anonymous
after my win with my Cherub Keepsake Box here.
The challenge is 'For all that you do,Thank you'. It describes to make a Thank you gift for this challenge, a hostess gift or a simple thank
you card.
My mum asked me around the same time to make a Thank you
card for her friend she had stayed with recently in Finland. She explained to
me she adored the vintage style, lace, pearls and a very ornate look. I decided
to make an easel card and inside the little gift box I placed some Post - it
notes. This way she could have it on display and always know where to get a bit
paper if needed.
My image is from Pion and my papers are all Maja.
My box I made using my Scorpal board. Sorry I can't show
you inside, I realised I didn't have this photo and it is now in Finland.
My die cuts are all Cheery Lynn and the lace is from my
craft stash.
Please pop over to Craft Hoarders Anonymous to see the talented Design
Team's post of inspiration for this challenge which started last week and you will also
see a variety of Guest Designers posting at the same time as myself. Good luck
to everyone entering their challenge.

Sumptuous with the abundance of flowers and the prettiest of papers and such a charming image. Your mother's friend will treasure this because it is most certainly a card to be treasured and what a special idea to tuck post it notes inside.
