2 Birds....

Okay, so saying this may be a little controversial, but it drives me nuts when people say "I'm entering this project for the following 101 challenges...."  
Now, combining 2 or 3 or maybe up to 4 when the challenge calls for a particular sort of technique or embellishment is absolutely fine but any more than that just means someone has made a card, perhaps with a couple of challenges in mind and then scanned through challenge list blogs for all those their card could, however dubiously qualify for.  What is the point?  

Well, today I'm sharing something which works for The Sketch File blog and is also a Design Team project for Crafty Templates.  So I hope that doesn't me sound like a hypocrite!!

you can put together in any way you fancy.

I used the "Flower Garland" template from Crafty Templates  as it worked so beautifully with May's "Cascading Circles" LO from The Sketch File    

I've used Kraft card, some black Bazzill and a strip of patterned paper cut from one of the 12x12 sheets in the last Quirky Kit box.  The squiggly design was the perfect corner piece for this card. 
 There's more info over on the Quirky Kits Ideas Blog

Today I've been making yet another of the May "boy" birthday cards - I'm so fed uyp of footballs that this one has a Rock Star theme for a change.  I know I've not actually got round to sharing most of them, but I will soon!  When I get one of those elusive, and much sought after Round Tuits
