Birthday Card for my Great Nephew

 One of my great nephews loves anything to do with diggers, so this is the card 

I made for his birthday last month.

I started by making the card base with black card, which I embossed

using the distress embossing folder.

I then printed the Scribbles Designs digi image onto white card, die-cut it 

using the pierced rectangles and then coloured using Promarkers.

I printed his name, matt and layered it with the nestabilities. I then 

added the number four from the Cuttlebug alphabet and number set of dies.

The products I have used are:-

Spellbinders Nestabilities - Circles and Scalloped circles

Cuttlebug alphabet and numbers - Olivia

Die-Namics - Pierced rectangles 

Scribbles Designs digi image - #934 Digger

Crocheted Square Basket

 I thought I’d have a try at crocheting a square basket and managed to find a few different 
tutorials on YouTube.

I decided to use one designed by Sabrina Melodieuse which can be found HERE

I had some yarn left over from when I made the set of three baskets recently, which
you can see HERE and HERE

Sabrina’s tutorial was an easy one to follow, her English is excellent.
Here’s how the square basket compares alongside the smaller one of the set of three.

The yarn I used is Yarnspirations  Lily - Sugar’n Cream in the colour Pot Pourri
which I purchased from Amazon.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.
