Home


Hi everyone,


It's challenge time with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog. Being a brand new month it is time to introduce our new challenge hostess which is Joanne. 


Today is National Roof Over Your Head Day. It is a day to be thankful for those of us who are fortunate enough to have a safe home to live in AND to think about those around the world who do not. To mark this day, our challenge today is to make a card with a house/building of some sort on it. 

A couple of months ago I purchased this Stampendous Family Home stamp set, I loved the sentiments which I thought would work well with other things I have. So of course I decided to use it for today's challenge. I also just received a set of Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers which I also had to play with.

The base of my card uses the Fancy Label Accordion Die set designed by Karen Burniston for Elizabeth Craft Designs.


To decorate the edges of my card I used the Fancy Seasons Frame Edges and the Star Fancy Frame Edges.



Here is a closeup of the last two pages of my accordion card. 


And finally my card when it is closed ready to be popped into an envelope.
