Bella Creations October Challenge...

Hello, if you read my blog regularly, you know I love Bella Creations. This month, the lovely Starr Timmons came up with a brilliant challenge (listed under Cartes Classique); to make cards for soldiers,  You can enter up to 3 cards for the challenge, but of course you can send and upload as many as you want :) There is a randam draw at the end of the month, and you have a chance to win this.
The shipping adress will be provided later in the month.

Operation Write Home does have a few rules and regulations we must follow, so please read them before you start your cards. You can make cards for the soldier themselves to thank them, but they do mention they are in even greater need for cards that the soldiers can send home for birthdays, anniversaries , Christmas etc.

We take for granted all our wonderful handmade cards, but imagine how special it must be for a soldier to be able to send a beautiful handmade card, and for families and friends to receive them. The cards can be simple, you can even make them identical....it's the handmade part that is important.

My cards are all done , ready to be posted....it would be lovely if some of you joined in.

Thanks for peeking...bisous, G.

The Sweet aroma of Lavender...

Hello there, The lovely and talented Starr Timmons has started a new group on Bella Creations called:
L'art Du Tissu ( Fabric art). The first challenge , nice and simple, is to make a sachet.

Why don't you come and take a look ? There is such a varied group of talent on the site,  close to a dozen groups, free images, tutorials, monthly challenges,  randomly drawn winners...etc

I made mine with lavender from my garden and some of my dried orchid leaves ...

Thanks for peeking....... xoxoox  G.
