Concertina Card

 Morning and time for our first challenge of the year at A Place to Start which is Rainbows(lots of colours) or ATG.

I made a concertina card using beautiful papers from Crafters Companion, a pocket inside with a tag, and a couple of tags glued to the pages. The tags and little Fox were cut from oddments of paper from Stamperia and no stamping in sight lol.






Please note if any challenges have digi images for prizes I am just playing for fun and support as I don't have a printer

  32. The concertina structure shows off those soft, elegant papers beautifully, and the way you integrated the pocket and tags adds such a thoughtful interactive touch. The little fox detail is perfectly placed and brings a charming bit of personality to the design.

  44. Thankyou for the comment asking how I am Carol. Having 'abit' of a rough month so far with treatments, its every single day for five and a half weeks, I finish day after my birthday 11th February. I am so tired but hope its a good thing. For now I have no mojo at all but hope that will change soon.
    I hope your well and the family. xx
