Crafts Galore Encore September 2025

Back to school this week. The 6 week holiday seems to have flown by. That could be, in part, because we took the two oldest grandchildren to the US for a few weeks. Relaxing with wonderful friends and then hustling around Disneyworld. Everyone had a fabulous time but now it's back to business ....

.... 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:

Cute Bee Digis

who are offering a prize of 3 digi images to our lucky winner.

I have made an 8"x 8" birthday card.

I started with the layers of black  and brown card. The pale blue top card is one I've had in my craft room stash for years. 

I stamped the sentiment directly on the blue card.

I chose this pretty image to work with. I can't find her in the shop but there are so many other equally pretty digi images in the shop for you to choose from.

I coloured her with my Copics and mounted her on black card.

The stone wall in the image made me think of the bridges across the Seine in Paris so I die cut the Eiffel Tower  and the Fleur de Lys as embellishments. I cut them in both black and brown card to give a shadow effect. They are both from an old Tim Holtz Alterations Sizzix set.

I finished the card by wrapping  some ribbon around the card layers and adding a few flowers and a bow.

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

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