More Sweet Peas.....

As soon as I saw this weathered wood paper from the new Sweet Pea collection by Craftwork Cards, I knew what I wanted to do.....use my memory box window die with the shutters, and build a spring scene.........


The flowers were punched from the pastel papers, and shaped with a foam mat and a ball tool before being arranged into the window box, which I cut by hand......


I put some blossoms onto the twig branch, to make it more Springlike. Do you know what they are? I punched holes using the largest punch on a cropadile, and collected the little punched circles. They are perfect!


Max and Milo were on great form - sometimes Max's enthusiastic hugs leave his little brother looking a bit bewildered.........


Out grandchildren call us Ma and Pops, but Milo has developed his own unique way of addressing us - he always calls each of us 'MandPops', so he has turned us into a sort of generic pair of grandparents, interchangeable and with the same name. 


I will be sorting out the winners of this months challenge over the next couple of days, forgive me but I have had a few problems to deal with. I need to think of the next challenge as well.......... watch this space

  11. Now that card is a total stunner, Enfys! How clever of you. As for Max and Milo they are adorable. Somehow can't picture you as a generic, totally interchangeable Grandma!! But I do get a kick out of his turning it into one word.
