Sall the Crafty Baker

Hello, This fortnight at  International Art and Soul  the theme asks you to include an animal.  This challenge rather plays to my comfort zone of crafting and use nature images.  I chose to use this Tortoise image by  Ikes Art  to make a "hello" card for a friend whose been incredibly helpful lately.  

This month the theme over at  Ikes World Challenges  is Three of a Kind.  Anyone who knows me would have guessed where my mind immediately went....Shakespeares Macbeth aka the Scottish Play. I've used three witch images, the cauldron, the hand and eye ball from  Ikes Art  and created my own spell.

It's a theme I am mega excited about over at  International Art and Soul  this fortnight.  BOOKS.  We are asking that your creations are inspired by a book.  I have chosen Erin Gruewell's The Freedom Writers Diary.   This book really touched me when I read it, I could identify with some of the entries as well as finding it an easy read.

This week my theem is embossing, I'm struggling rather a lot now with these Christmas Cards and I need someone to shout at me next year and say SIMPLE cards only please?

The theme this week is O Come All Ye Faithful.  I've used a crafters companion 3d embossing folder that has the sheet music {I think/assume} of O Come All Ye Faithful.  I've simply matted it and added a greeting.

The theme for the challenge over at  IAAS  this fortnight is tea party.  I've used this image from  Ikes Art  to create this art journal page about imagination.
