Hi everyone ... I've been pretty rough these past few days ... missed my philosophy class and will be missing club night tonight ... hopefully by next week I should be feeling better (hopefully she says fingers crossed) ... At least I've had time to create a little something for this week's challenge at WaltzingMouse based on this sketch ....
... a little something different ....
... using this beautiful MF paper from Kirsty and a gorgeous free image from Vintage Catnip ...
I cut the 3 'frames' using SB Nestabilities and my Sizzix and adhered them to another piece of card
which I folded first making a spine because the front flap lifts up and Voila!!
... there's a little calendar underneath ...
The beautiful ribbon I used is from Stella ... and the pearls are from my stash ... the calendar is a mini from ebay ... All I need to do now is decide if this should go in my bedroom or craft room ... hmmm ...
Thanks to all of you for your lovely comments ... I love reading them and I am so grateful that you took the time to write them ... Tomorrow I will post details of my giveaway
Have a lovely day
