Crop-a-Dile Wars

Morning Custard Lovers :)

I'll try and keep this brief, as this is the first of three posts I have going live today!

Jane has chosen a rather fabby new Challenge for you over at Cupcake this week... Something in the Eyelet. Simples really, you just need to include some eyelets on your project. We have stash generously provided by Crafts U Love and Tickled Pink Stamps up for grabs. Pop over and check the luuurverly work from The Cupcakes.

Last year, I bought a Crop-a-Dile. Mainly because I do the majority of my crafting at night time, and I worried about disturbing the neighbours by setting eyelets at one in the morning. Not that Naughty Nursie would have been bothered by me banging at one in the morning. ;) But I digress!

The first time I used it to set an eyelet, on a more or less completed project, things did not go well and I ended up remaking a hefty section of card, without eyelets. My fault, I should have done a dummy run first. The Crop-a-Dile has been an expensive hole punch, ever since.

Jane's Challenge encouraged/ forced me to do battle with the Crop-a-Dile again, and look, I won! Turns out, I just needed to twizzle the thingy round...

I'd like to enter this card at the La La Land Customer Gallery.
