Craft Mad Monthly Card Swap for January


This month the theme for the Craft Mad Monthly Card Swap was Anything Goes 
Suited me very well as I had family staying and has also been laid low with illness.
Fortunately in my stash I had a card kit from Kaisercraft so I used 
the cards , papers and ephemera to make my cards for my partner.  

This is the first card

I finished the top of with timber alphas. I papered the centre opening with Couture Creations Vintage Rose Garden and added a couple of miniature cupboards filled with various craft and sewing notions, miniatures of some of my greeting cards. I also added a sewing machine and mannequin. I filled the drawers with tiny plastic containers filled with beads, sequins buttons and various small craft items.   I would like to add my project to the f...
