Thank you for joining us for the Treat Bag/Box Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.
This week the challenge is
Thinking Of You
The 11th November is Veterans Day, in Commonwealth countries it is known as Armistice Day. In 1918 it signified the end of the 1st World War and is traditionally a day to remember all of the armed forces who have died in the line of duty.
I am also thinking of all of our friends, Barbara, Zoey, and the people of Italy who have suffered yet another devastating earthquake, my thoughts are with you XXX
As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store
Traditionally poppies are the flower of choice for Remembrance Day but I have chosen to use Tim Holtz Wildflowers today.
I used both the Wildflower Dies and Stamps to make this, aren't they beautiful! The card is a little bit bigger than normal so I made a special envelope to fit.
I made the background using a gorgeous Memory Box Jourdana Collage Die, I used Watercolor Paper and then splattered with red and black ink. When it was dry I mounted it on foam adhesive squares over a piece of gold card. I love the look of this.
I finished the inside too ;-)
So now it's YOUR turn!
You have until Monday 8am Ohio time. 1pm UK time, 2 pm CET to join in

I thought this was a really clever take on the poppy idea and it is always a treat to see how beautifully you decorate the outside AND the inside of your cards! No neglected card interiors in your hands and I love that! Thanks for inspiring me to up my game when it comes to doing the insides of my cards.
