Burlap love

Hello Everyone and Happy new year to all my readers and mates!

The year gone by might have shown grim state of affairs around the world with stories of bloodshed, Sydney Siege, tragedies and human failures never ceasing to seize the headlines! So let our New Year's resolution be better, we will be there for one another as a fellow members of humanity!

Enough of the heavy, today I am sharing a card which was inspired by 

City Crafter Challenge Blog Week 243 ~ Burlap love

I have some pink burlap in my stash so decided to play along with CCCB

Here is my interpretation:

As you can see I truly enjoy making window card/shaker card

And Thank you so much for all your love and sweet comments...

CCCB Challenge ~ Week 13 English Rose

Just something less and simple... but it took a bit of willpower to create the handmade flowers(i'm too lazy to sew and stitch!!)...I needed a combination of 3 colors ~ blue, red and white which represent union jack ~ London... I just realised that I do not have a blue paper!!! What a shame... if not it can be a better combo!!!

Papers: AC Cardstock & Cosmo Cricket
Others: Gina K Designs Stamp, Tim Holtz Walnut Stain Distressed Ink, Ribbon, Basic Grey Buttons and red white and blue gingham lace...

red hot flowery

I'm running out of idea... All because of WORLD CUP FEVER!!!  VIVA ESPANA!!!...woke up at 4am AET...sigh!!...but still keen to participate on card challenges... one card 2 challenges...
The criteria:...red ... 3 types of pattered papers(which I chose all the red shades).... I supposed this is alright... far more less than fabulous... just alright!!!
