Elegant Moi?

Sorry this is later than planned guys was waiting for another blog to go live, read on....

Hello,

I have some great news to share today, I have been successful in my application to the House Of Cards design team.  I am really excited to be asked to join this new team and new challenge.  This is based in the U.S of A so the timings will be different from usual but I am, genuinely, so excited about this.  Please Click here to see the other members of the team and click through for their blogs!!

I gained my place, based on this card, which I used for my application, in the Classic and Elegant team (I would never of thought of myself as Elegant but I'll try my hardest, honest!).  Please click on the link to see the challenge blog, there are even prizes for followers, if you've come to my blog from House of Cards, Welcome please feel free to look around!?! lol

To celebrate Today I am showing 2 cards which, Hopefully, match the Classic and Elegant tag as well as my first Blog candy ( coming tomorrow)!!

Firstly this offering...






















This card embodies what makes me happy, Crafting, from the comments I get my friends and family believe that Happiness is homemade.  It may not always be the right colour, style or even very good however the very act of making something or receiving something homemade, I feel, is more personal and cheering than anything shop bought.

This card is made with the filigree Card technique using Spellbinders Enchanted Labels 28.  The sentiment is form Waltzing mouse .






Secondly this card is designed to encourage everyone to enter the new challenge with the simple message "Try It"

It would be great to see everyone entering this challenge as they are wonderful (I've seen some of the inspiration for the challenges, July's is fabulous)

Blog candy to follow tomorrow so check back, all I can say is Enjoy...
