Hi!

This card is made using the fantastic June downloads available when you subscribe to http://www.craftytemplates.co.uk/. Leo ideas are wonderful and she has an amazing design team to give great inspiration.

For this card I got the sewing machine dusted off and zig zagged round the Word Hi on felt and mounted on a card cut out to the same shape, then used the lovely pink wax paper,brad and flower from one of the goody kits Leo sells to compliment the templates.

This little book is made using my bind-it-all I purchased from www.charmedcardsandcrafts.co.uk and some fantastic felt from Hobbycraft,I cut the flowers out of a piece of excess felt and the butterfly from another one, the 'Must have' board is using one of the fabulous Chipboards by Dove craft 'Designer Chipboard in a tin' 'Glamour' over 200 of them in a wonderful little tin. The ribbon is at the moment onsale in Hobbycraft for 99p for 3mtrs! Now thats a bargain!!
