Welcome to the Digistamps4Joy COUNTRY theme Blog Hop running from 5 – 10 October 2013 to celebrate World Card Making Day on the 5th October. 

You have arrived at sharons (Crafty Hugs) blog In catshill U.K.   I have interpreted the country theme as the royal family in the U.K and the famous royal family weddings!  Princess Diana the most beautiful princess that can never be replaced. Also the most recent wedding of Prince William and his beautiful Bride, the birth of their son and of course not forgetting the Royal Diamond Jubilee!

Here is the card I made for the Blog Hop.

This is a centre step card.  I used some DP Papers from a paper pad I bought
last year for the queens jubilee.  I've never used it so I'm so glad it has come in handy lol.
The die cuts are spellbinders.  I made the pin myself with beads and diamante beads I have.  The bunting is hand made just by cutting triangles out of paper and hanging on some red and white twine I had lying around.

Close up

The lace , flowers, bows are all from my crafty stash.  The paper flower on the right are handmade from a tutorial on a past post from Desires Blog.
