Allsorts Challenge ~ Anything But Square

A new Allsorts Challenge begins today and Lorraine has chosen the theme of  'Anything But Square'.  The challenge this time will run for two week.  As I haven't made one for a long time, I decided to make a Bridge Fold Card for my DT card.

It was my daughter's birthday this month and this is the card I made for her.  The patterned paper was from a paper pad from The Works.  I used a Marianne Design cross stitching die and the cross stitching was done with crochet cotton.


This fortnight there will be two winners who will win a fabulous prize from Craft Stash. Winners will be announced on Friday 25th August.

I am joining in the following challenges:
Try It On Tuesday Challenge ~ Pretty Papers
Shopping Our Stash Challenge #501 ~ No Stamping Allowed
Beautiful Blossoms Challenge #7 ~  Anything Goes Flowers
Die Cut Diva's Challenge ~ Birthdays
HLS July Anything Goes with Dies Challenge
HLS July Birthday Challenge
Let's Create and Craft Challenge #197 - AG + Add Flowers
Cardz 4 Galz Challenge #204 ~ Something Beginning with P (Pink Poppy + Polka dots)
