Button and Bows


Oh my goodness its the 1st September and we're still waiting for Summer we've been getting glimpses of what they would be like and then they're gone.
The good news its time for a new challenge on Penny Black Saturday Challenge and its time to use up some of your Ribbon and Buttons.
I decided to use this Penny Black stamp and any excuse to use the gorgeous papers from Lily of the Valley and they're not just for LOTV images you know. It was while I was colouring the thought occurred to me to have an aperture behind the images and I'm so glad I did, works a treat.
The flower spray is a die and the flowers are another die and the sentiment is a retired Stampin Up one.
My bags are packed and I should be arriving at my sisters for a day of crafting maybe pop down and see The Art of Craft.
There is some Bad News though, its 114 days till Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!
