Got back yesterday from a lovely few sunny and hot days in the Cotswolds. Sticking to my Slimming World plan was more difficult when you are eating out but I chose wisely. Pleased to say that the balance exercises are really helping with my balance and dizzy issues so feeling great at the moment despite catching a Summer cold. It feels wrong having a cold in the sunshine. I'll be bloghopping as soon as possible. At the moment the holiday washing is in the machine.
This week at Crafty Ribbons our challenge is anything goes with ribbon. I love making this style of card so much as you may have noticed and aim to make each one different. The image is from free vintage digital designs, paper from Marianne Designs Eline's Huis. The lace and tape measure ribbon are both from Crafty Ribbons of course and the gauze from LOTV. I've distressed all the edges and used DI Vintage Photo on the image, paper and ribbon. The dress form and cotton reel are MB dies. I've added a pin and pearls from The Hobby House. Looking for something to add to it I remembered I bought some little frames so added one and used glossy accents to look like a picture with glass.
Time to catch up on some challenges after being away.
