#CraftBlogClub ~ Spring Clean Gift Swap

The latest #CraftBlogClub challenge was named 'Spring Clean Gift Swap' ~ The challenge was to make a gift using only materials you already owned. I was paired up with Caro from Twinkles Diaries.

The challenges are set by #CraftBlogClub host Emma who blogs over at Frugally Peachy. The last challenge was to re-love a piece of furniture, you can see mine here. #CraftBlogClub takes place every Tuesday 7-8.30 over on Twitter, maybe I will see you there! :)

Anyway, my parcel arrived this morning. It couldn't have come at a better time, both Children are poorly and I have spent the last two days in a whirlwind of washing, cleaning and cuddling so this really brightened up my day! The parcel was wrapped beautifully so knew inside was going to be special:



On the package was this beautiful card, its so beautiful I think I may frame it!! The cards are available to order here.


And here is my gift:




The pictures don't do it justice but it really is beautiful, I love it! This is only the 2nd papercut that Caro has done and she apologised for it not been perfect - I have to disagree, it is completely perfect! Caro has done this from a freehand drawing and then cut by hand - I think it is very clever! I love the frame too - Thank you Caro :) xx

Looking forward to taking part in the next #CraftBlogClub challenge!

Thank you for reading xx
