Cottage Friend

Hi everyone – how are you going for Thursday?  I am well, feeling great and looking forward to the weekend.

 

We have our fortnightly girly get together this Friday where we probably do more talking then crafting but it is a great way to wind down and catch up.

 

Also I am going to the movies with Mum this weekend to see ‘Water for Elephants’ – a girly flick  and we will catch up with Dad for dinner after the movies.

 

So speaking of girly things, I have created a card that fits into three current challenges:

 

The first is the very Girly Challenge from the Friday Mashup Challenge - Ribbons, Pearls and all things Girls – what a beautiful little girl!

 

The second challenge is from SUO challenges – Flowers for May.  You can visit this site to see this challenge if you click here.

 

The last challenge is from Paper Players and is a Sketch Challenge # 48:

 

 

 

I have used a colour combo of Melon Mambo, Basic Grey and Old Olive with Very Vanilla, as well as the lovely Vintage Vogue stamp set.

 

I cannot believe a few months ago I was struggling to think of ways to use this set!  I have used this lovely set so many times lately.

 

For that extra touch I used some of the Chantilly 1/2” Crochet Trim.

Looks like you have a very fun weekend ahead. You are going to Love " Water for Elephants" Did you read the book? I couldn't put it down. I just went to the movies with my Mom the other night and saw "Bridesmaids" I don't think I've laughed that hard at a move in a long time.

Your card came out great.. I really like how you used the Sketch and tied it into our challenge. With the flowers and the bling. The Lace is a great addition.

Hi Meg! Hope you had a good time at the movie. I just started reading the book and have heard really good things about it. Such a pretty card, too. Love the color combo and all of the pretty details. It has a great vintage-feel to it. Thanks so much for joining us at The Paper Players this week! :)
