James


I really don't know why I wanted to cut out the circle for James to stand in but I think it works. I made a frame round it with spellbinder and the crochet border from MFT.
You know that James comes from Lily of Valley, as is the strip of checked paper..

My flower flourish is the Lavish Branch chopped up to suit and those pesky Upsy Daisy dies again from MFT. The Memory box scallop to finish off.


Swimming this morning and then I need to pack my bags for my weekend away. I told my friend who didn't know what to pack, to take clean knickers and PJs and then use every available space for craft stuff.
