Crafts Galore Encore July 2025

 It's still a mixed bag of changeable weather here in our little corner of Wales. So while the rest of the UK basks in a heatwave, I wasn't expecting to be dashing out in between rain showers in my coat at the end of June. Hopefully it will settle into some nice sunny days for summer soon.

Meanwhile .....

.... there is a new challenge starting today at

Crafts Galore Encore Challenge Blog. 

Thank you to everyone who joined in with last month's challenge. The winners have been announced on the challenge blog. This is a month long challenge and you can enter up to three times. There is a full list of rules on the challenge blog.

Our theme every month is the popular

"Anything Goes"

and our sponsor this month is:

Fred She  Said

who are offering a $10 (Canadian) voucher for their store to the lucky winner.

I have made an 8"x 8" card to use for a special someone's birthday.

I didn't have any card that matched the pretty papers I wanted to use so I cut the matting layers from plain white card and used one of my Copics to colour the edges.

On the base layer, I used an old LOTV Nitwit paper from their Promises 8"x 8"collection. I also made a panel to add to the front before sticking down a length of large ric-rac.

I used the "I love you this much" image and coloured it with my Copics. I also printed off one of the sentiments that come with the image and cut it out for a banner.

The image I used comes with three sentiments and also is available as a pre-coloured set of six images.

I finished the card with some beautiful paper flowers from Prima.

Now please visit the  Crafts Galore Encore challenge blog where you can see the wonderful projects and cards created by our talented team using Fred She Said images.

Grab some inspiration while you're there and enter your "Anything Goes" creations in this month's challenge.
