Crafting for all Seasons #69 "For the Girls"

Good morning all.
Woke up on Monday morning to a text from Gary to say they'd had an earthquake in Wellington about 6.2/3 magnitude...he was well chuffed with himself!! Luckily there was little damage done. He's now on South Island staying in Blenheim and looking for some casual work!

I've just lost three days reminiscing with people who grew up in the same area as me. Someone set up a Facebook page at the weekend and everyone has been adding old photos and happy memories...fabulous to see and read. Also found two old friends who I hadn't heard of for years and both are living in New Zealand!

Today it's time for our second challenge of 2014 at CFAS and this time the theme is "For the Girls". We're  looking forward to seeing all your makes. We're being sponsored by Lacy Sunshine who gave the DT images to work with.


I choose Raining Frogs which I coloured with promarkers. Dies from Spellbinders. Paper and banner are from Kaisercraft and were a magazine freebie. Hessian is a recent buy...though I can't remember where from!! Ribbon and fibres are from Inkylicious and sentiment is from my stash. Hearts were punch waste.


Do pop over to the challenge blog to see the rest of the girls inspiration, you won't be disappointed.

Fabulous Sponsor 2014

    Just had to chuckle when I saw this card. Your image invokes such fustration and is so funny. The young lady looks like a wet cat. You definitely brought her to life with your coloring.

    Beautiful colouring Carol. I love the fabric - will have to get some hessian or burlap - it gives a lovely touch of texture. I think I'd be terrified if there was an earth quake and would want out of NZ asap - the young don't have those foolish fears lol! xx
