Last of the New England

clock November 8, 2011 10:41 by author Crafty Ribbons

I had planned on sharing the last few pictures of the New England Challenge last week, but with no Wi-Fi at the hotel, it was rather difficult! 

These delightful treasures are made by Tina, I think Tina has really captured the New England theme in her card designs. What do you think?

This cranberry red card is such a perfect match to the ribbons, so clever the way Tina has used the parcel ribbon as inspiration for her embellishment.

This card was on display at the NEC over the weekend, and yes I think it sold a few button boxes!  It is a super special card Tina.

Your hand stitching has always amazed me Tina, it looks so realistic.  This card could be used for a birthday or Valentines NOT just for christmas!

Super, super cool, I love it. The little spotty pot is rather cheeky Tina, looks wicked.

How cute is that? Just think what could be inside..................

Thank you Tina for your wonderful creations, I hope you had a fun time playing.  I have just uploaded all the challenge goodies to a Facebook Album and you can view them HERE.

I got myself into a little bit of a pickle last night and ended up at A&E in Dorchester.  I was rather tired but fancied a bit a crafting, there was not very much on telly, so thought a bit of sewing would be good. I always sit on the sofa with my legs curled up under me, as I moved position to get comfy my scissors embedded themselves 2 inches into my right heal. I am ok but rather sore and I feel rather stupid, I have a few stitches and a bandaged foot. I have been told to rest the leg, no standing for 7 days, ummmmm I go to Paris in in 6 days and have to stand up for 12 hours a day. Oh what fun!!!  I never knew crafting could be so painful.

Take care

When I saw the title "Last of New England" I thought you were going to tell us that you had almost run out of ribbons! Silly me!
I agree with Pinky, Tina's cards are beautiful, as are all the creations you receive. In my mind there's nothing better at Christmas than the traditional green and cranberry.
You must be in agony with your foot and I wish you all the best for a speedy recovery. Good job you've got a dedicated team who will do all the running around for you! Now, where did you put your bell to ring for another cuppa.....???
Good luck for Paris. Hope all goes well.
Big hugs,
Rachel xx

Gorgeous challenge makes, I really like how Tina has used the ribbons as her inspiration for her cards.
Ow Ali, that sounds horrible. I hope you are resting up and getting lots of sympathy & chocolate!  Hope Paris isn't going to be too painful for you.
Take care

thank you! I really, really enjoyed these ribbons, and tried to make the ribbon the focus or inspiration.
I hope the small tree dec is not too strong, i used ginger and orange oil on it.
I hope your foot is alright! That sounds really painful!
