My first ever Shaker card!

Hello All
Thank you for calling in and if you leave a comment, thank you. I have decided to only post on Thursdays and Saturdays. I would have loved to have posted on Tuesdays as well but I just can fit it all in as you've probably realised. So, Thursdays will be either my Craft Rocket Challenge design or something else, maybe a card or  a knitting project or  a cake, some crochet, who knows. Saturdays will be an oldie, maybe not!
 Daughter seems to be getting bigger and bigger everyday. We had a great day shopping on Saturday, I was even allowed to get some crafty stash - some black card from The Range and other stash. She even bought herself a colouring book! if you knew my daughter you'd understand that she is not in the least bit crafty - coz mum can do it for me. She felt she needed something to do other than her iPad.
Todays' caed is a first for me - a shaker card. I made it for a crafting friend who is as passionate about knitting as I am. I am thrilled with the result and am in the middle of making a similar one for a quilter/patchworker

    What a fabulously clever card. Absolutely brilliant idea for a sewing/knitting crafter.
    Time can run away with us all so you post when you can chuck.
