First up is my entry for the Case Study Design Team call. The brief was to interpret a piece by your personal "muse". For me, it's Debbie Olson - I am completely in awe of her colouring, precision and her ability to put patterned papers together. This card encompasses pretty much all of these things. I am completely unable to incorporate this much detail without it looking a mess. So with my simplified version, I have used the colours, scallops and of course seam binding.
I think my Mum will love this card for Mother's Day next Sunday. My family will be out doing the annual Mother's Day Classic, a walk/run to raise funds for breast cancer. It has become a bit of a tradition with us, and usually followed by a gorgeous breakfast somewhere.

I have saved the cutest for last!
What a gorgeous little girl! Oh, and the outfit is beautiful too. I hate to think how much it costs. I remember buying my daughter a reasonably costly ensemble when she was about 6 months, then fretted every time she wore it, that food would end up all over it - which of course it did. Very silly on my part, but she looked divine for 5 minutes.
I couldn't quite tell whether the top was pink or cream but it doesn't really matter as it's for a little girl. Congratulations Aga, enjoy this time as it REALLY does go in a flash.
