Challenge #118 - Recipe Challenge

It's been awhile since I've posted on my blog or had any time to craft (if anyone noticed)!!  My 12 year old son was recently hospitalized and diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes which kind of turned our world upside down.  We are slowly coming to terms with his diagnosis and learning all about insulin injections, blood sugar, meal planning and all the other "fun" stuff that goes along with it.  It was nice to get a few minutes to finish up a creation that I'd been working on for a while.  I was able to make it work for our new challenge #118 over at the Critter Sketch Challenge blog this week.  We have a recipe challenge for you:

Use 1 ribbon, 3 buttons & 5 brads or eyelets on your creation

How easy is that?  I used this sweet little Pure Innocence Stamp called "Happy Mail" and paired it with paper scraps from my Echo Park Victoria Gardens Paper Pan.  I even paper pieced the dress with some Bo Bunny paper scraps.  

Actually most of my card was made using scraps, don't you just love that?  I used a scrap pink ribbon, some cute little flower buttons (so wish I bought more of these) and 5 white brads which I coloured with my copics to match.  A nice, simple card & so cute to send in the mail.  

I hope you'll check out the Critter Sketch Blog & play along, we have just announced our 8th new DT and there is some great inspiration to be found.  

Since it's a new month, we also have a new monthly sponsor Robyn's Fetish:
