Two cards in free time

Hi there , precious friends , thank you for calling in .

Well a sunny day and although not all that warm,  still a pleasant day .

Went out early on gophers for coffee and snack before moving onto Linear Park trail to enjoy the ambiance . We were lucky enough to spot a koala and baby .
Not a great photo but koala mums often seek height and  thick foliage when with baby .

Might see them better if you click on photo .

Had some spare time the other day and needed some quick cards and kits for craft morning with friends .Today I would like to share them .

Summer card for Kraftyhand September challenge

Hi there , welcome to my room .
Thank you for calling in .
I would like to thank new followers and visitors alike and give a warm welcome to new DT members of Kraftyhands Challenge Blog .

September theme is

 Quilts & Patchwork

 Pink base  card from SU
Using papers from Summer of 59 Paper Stack ,
 Image from Summer of 59 Postcard Stack . 
Button and Ribbon and all above  from Kraftyhands .

I cut the paper into 4 cm strips and layered then onto pink card base leaving small border . I made faux stitching to create 4cm patches which hopefully looked like quilting .

I cut the postcard into a square , adhered that to some pink card and left  a small border then with foam dots added that to card front .  I embellished with button and ribbon .

It would be fabulous to see you  at the Kraftyhands  challenge blog sharing your interpretation of September theme . While you are there I hope that you will check out the new DT too ,  browse through all the projects made by us all and even visit our personal blogs to leave some blog love .

Catch you again soon , cheers for now , Shirley-Anne
