Thank you!

29/09/2015 edit to add:   Playing along at the Paper Issues linky party with the theme of How 'bout them apples?  This is a blog post from 2011, with a card I made for one of J-girl's teachers, featuring a hand-sewn apple that I made.  (Please note: because this is a flashback - the giveaway is no longer current.)

This week at C.R.A.F.T. Challenge our theme is "Thank you, Teacher".  I've gone shabby again - I'm still loving Kraft and book pages and stitching!

I used "Audrey's Books" from our sponsor, The Stamping Boutique - such a wonderful, versatile digital image.

I made the apple myself from some felt scraps, and hand-stitched the sentiment and accents.

I'm entering my card at:
# Kraft Journal ~ My Favourite Things
Two favourite things - hand stitching, and books. I love reading!
# Allsorts ~ Free & Easy
# Stamping Boutique ~ July

****  PS - To say "THANK YOU" to my blog visitors I'm having a little blog candy giveaway  ****

I will include some vintage goodies, some red ribbon as pictured and some handmade felt apples, similar to the one in the photograph.  No picture yet, because I'm still stitching madly to make a little set of matching embellishments for the winner.

To enter, please reply on this post with your best guess about the title of the top book in the picture! (The bottom one is 'Heidi' by Johanna Spyri.)  Hint:  The story was originally published in the 1890's...

You can post on your sidebar if you want, but it's not required.  And I will never ask anyone to become a blog follower - if you do, I want it to be entirely voluntary with no ulterior motives involved!  Every visitor is welcome to join in and your guess doesn't have to be correct in order to go into the draw :)   I will keep this open until 31st July.
