It's time for another Quirky Crafts Challenge. This time it falls to Doris to fire your imagination! The
theme for is fortnight is...
Picnic and/or BBQ
We're all having picnics and BBQ's at the moment, so this challenge should be an easy one! Doris wants to see such things as a grill,
tables for camping, picnic baskets, checked tablecloths, food, lots of ants or even wasps and other things you'll find on a picnic or when having a BBQ! Just go mad and think, Quirky! Our fabulous sponsor
for this challenge is...
with some brilliant prizes! $20, $15 and $10 Crackerbox Palace voucher to spend in their store! So, we on the Design Team and guest designers too, have been very busy making some lovely creations to inspire you!
This time, instead of stamps we had digi's to use!
I made a table and used some green gingham paper to make a tablecloth, and then... well, I let the ants run amok!
I've also used some freebie BBQ papers, which I downloaded years ago from MadaboutCards. That has now disappeared but their sister site Printable Heaven is still going strong and you can find the freebie BBQ food backing papers HERE.
Here's my card. (well, I did my best!) It's an easel card with a table 'attachment!' I've used mostly PinkPetticoat Melon papers. The checked table cloth came from a Forever Friends paper stack and the wood paper from a 6x6 paper pack 'Neighbourwood' (some of the other papers have glitter on them)
All the flowers, ants, baskets, melons and sentiments are from our lovely sponsors. The knives, folks and spoons are Woodware brads and the napkins are just crunched up bits of pink tissue paper.
It does all fold up to go into its original envelope, although I haven't done it, as I didn't want to run the risk of creasing those melons before the photo was taken!
Right, that's it! Two weeks to get your projects made, look out for the reminder next Sunday...ohooo dear...I wonder what I'll make then? Pop over and see what the others and our guest designers have created!! Thanks for popping by! I'm not here...this is on timer, later I hope to add some...

Lyn, your card is so beautiful. I loved the idea of your easel card. I like how you added the flowers to the card. You put a lot of work into this card and it shows. It really looks like a summer picnic. The napkins are a nice touch too.
