Crafts Galore Encore November 2025

This weekend I am attending a craft workshop with three amazing tutors. They are the same three talented tutors who featured at a crafty weekend I did back in January. Finnabair, Olga Heldwein and Nuneka Box. We had so much fun in January that we wanted to do it again. With different projects though.

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"

We do not have a sponsor this month so this challenge is 

'Just for Fun'

The design team were allowed to create anything we liked, the same as you!

I created a card to welcome a newborn baby boy.

A lovely family member gave birth to a little boy recently. I created an 8"x 8" (20 x 20cm) card to celebrate.

My card is layered with two blue cards from Limetree Crafts. The next layer is a mottled blue card I bought at a craft show a few years ago. I wrapped a wide blue ribbon around the card layers before fixing them to the card base.

The sweet image is from a printable decoupage sheet from  La Pashe. I cut the four layers and mounted them with foam pads. 

I mounted the decoupaged image onto pale blue card and wrapped a seam binding ribbon around the layers before adding a triple bow.

I finished the card with some gorgeous flowers from Katy Sue Designs and the randomly placed blue gems.

I also added the two sentiments from the decoupage sheet.

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