I've had a lovely week with my sister and Mum in the Peak District and we seem to have missed most of the rain luckily. We had a fairly hectic schedule making puddings in Bakewell, shopping in Buxton, touring Chatsworth House and gardens and a final day touring around the Peaks and lakes. The proof of the pudding is in the eating or so they so - you'll have to be content with a photo as I've already done the eating!!
Since arriving home I've done six loads of washing and cleaned the house from top to bottom so thought I was due a little me time in the craft room tonight.
This week over at Less is More the challenge is to use ribbons or buttons (or both) but still keeping the card clean and simple. I've used a strip of black card and scalloped both edges with a Martha Stewart punch then added a piece of white ribbon and a narrow black ribbon. I've added a button tied with red ribbon to the middle of the flower, a tiny spotty black bow and some bling. The sentiment is stamped direct to the base card.
Challenges entered:
Less is More - ribbons and buttons
Stamp Something - something embellished
St Lukes Charity - black, white plus one (red)
Digi Doodle Shop - CAS
Shelly's Image Blog - anything goes
Thanks for visiting today, your comments are very welcome and always read.
