I made this card using Hope & Grace from The Greeting Farm. The challenge is to create a card or project using some of their older stamps. I don’t see Hope & Grace around very often so I though this would be a good reunion. I made the flower from felt wool and cut out three size circles, clipped the edges and bunched it together.

Did you know? Without ultrasound or other special tools, determining if a sheep is pregnant is difficult because ewes only begin to visibly show a pregnancy. However, by fitting a ram with a chest harness called a marking harness that holds a special crayon (or raddle), ewes that have been mounted are marked with a color.

I made this card using Handy Ian from The Greeting Farm. The challenge is to CASE the card or project provided and the other challenge used is a birthday theme. Although it’s a great card for my Dad, it did not pass the “Yah, it’s a boy card” challenge from my husband. The verdict? “It made me go ‘Ah, that’s cute.'” But I used it for a masculine challenge anyway.

Did you know? The Norcon pillbox is a type of hardened field fortification built in Britain during the invasion crisis of 1940-1941. It was a small circular pillbox named after the company that manufactured it as a private commercial venture. It was regarded as “possibly the most dangerous, cheap and nasty of all pillbox designs”. Twenty-seven pillbox sites are recorded in the Defense of Britain database.
