Got out the Mod Podge and remembered I had some tiny playing cards that came out of a cracker one Christmas so used those on the Canasta score sheet I was given to use.
I made the pencil from a cocktail stick, rolled in ink and hey presto one pencil.
Tomorrow I'm going to have a go at making some bread following the gorgeous Paul Hollywoods recipe...that man has the most amazing blue eyes......will let you know how it turns out...

Great card Anne, so very well done too. My Father played Canasta along with a group that got to-gether during the war and they stayed friends for most of their life, of course there was no telly then. Hugs Rita xx
Anne this card is brilliant. Funny I kept one of those little decks of cards out of a cracker thinking they might come in useful for a card but I love the way you have done the background and the pencil is marvellous.
brilliant male card Annie, don't know what canasta is, looks like a some kind of card game, reminded me I bought some small playing cards (not used) a long time ago LOL

Wow this is fabulous Anne. You've created a brilliant collage, and the chequerboard background displays it perfectly.
Love how you used napkins and items from a Christmas cracker, and as for the "pencil" - that is inspirational!!
Hugs, Sylvia xx

What an interesting commission - I have no idea how you play canasta it always looked too comples for me!
Hope the bread goes OK - I used Paul's original bread book and it turns out there were errors in the recipe which explains why it was too salty to eat! I'm doign a break making course in July though can't wait!

Very ingenius design, Anne. Your Mojo was definitely working when you designed this! Fabulous card!
Commissions can be a bit of a nightmare. I get asked for some really weird themes xx
There's some genius recycling and creativity going on in this card Anne, you came up trumps for this commission :0)
Sometimes the trickiest challenges turn out the most fantastic cards Anne and this is a brilliant one, perfect for the canasta-playing recipient! Vicky x
What a fantastic card, I love all the brilliant elements you have used.

Hi Anne, This is one clever card. I was asked a few years back to make a card for a man who loved to play poker. I was like you and had to get my thinking hat on and created one using real cards etc. I love all the different elements you have used and the cocktail stick pencil is a fab idea! Love the napkins too.
Hope your having a lovely day!

what a lovely card and i like the playing cards as detail.
i don,t know the game, but the card is realy beautiful.
hugs to you Anne!.

Wow, you are so creative Anne and I love what you were able to come up with here. I smiled when I saw your small playing cards because I too had some in a cracker some time back and put them away somewhere safe for when I want to use them on a card. They were nowhere to be found when I wanted to make a poker card! Hope you enjoy making your bread - I am going to see the blue eyes in person on Monday when he is giving a local cookery demonstration!
Fabulous card Anne, how clever to use those tiny cards ( must keep mine next time, makes mental note!). Yes I agree about the blue eyes too :) Viv xx
I don't know how to play canasta but your delightful card makes me want to learn. Wonderful 3D effect and I do love the bold colors. This is so very creative - love the little cards and you brilliant make of a pencil. Do let us know about the bread - not that I need to eat any!!
