Sew special and some fantastic news!

Morning Friends! Well, Friday evening – and it’s raining! Not looking forward to the predicted snow again for Sunday, but at least we haven’t gotten it as bad as other places. I think sunny South Africa is the place to be at the moment – anyone offering to buy me a plane ticket???
 
I have just uploaded my card for the new Eclectic Ellapu challenge which goes live on Sunday – please pop by then to see what I came up with and what the rest of the Pink Team created.
 
I have some really exciting news!!! I have been chosen to be on the new Crafting Cafe challenge blog design team! I will be posting once a month on the 17th – the idea is that the team get given an image to work into a theme, and we all post on different days during the month to give ongoing inspiration for the challenge which will run for a month. The February challenge started on the 1st February, and our theme for this month is ‘Anything Goes’.
 
My card for today was one that I made last week for another of Nadine’s friends. She is very into arty stuff and loves sewing, so when these free stamps came along in a magazine, I got really excited! I have paper pieced the corset with the backing papers to make it stand out more.
