My apologies for this post being late but I've had a couple of days where I think my computer went on vacation! In any case, I couldn't get onto the internet to add this post for the latest challenge over at FarmQuest. Our theme this time is to take inspiration from a Martha Washington quote: “I am again fairly settled down to the pleasant duties of an old fashioned Virginia house-keeper, steady as a clock, busy as a bee, and as cheerful as a cricket.” (1797, Martha Washington)
Having visited the Mount Vernon home of George and Martha Washington many years ago, I took this quote very literally and created this card using a post card I had purchased while I was there. The background paper came from my scrap basket. I used baker's twine for the simple bow. I searched online for a picture of Martha Washington, found the cameo, sized it to fit onto the card, printed it, and cut it out with scissors.
Challenges:
Again, my apologies for being late with this post but I hope you might still be inspired to come play along in our challenge. It runs for two weeks and our next challenge begins on February 28. See you there.
Happy Crafting. NanaConnie
