Penny Black Challenge - Week 50

Hi Everyone

What a beautiful day - I hope that the weather is as gorgeous for everyone as it is in my little part of the world today.

Just a quick challenge entry before I head out to do a bit of gardening. (Need to clear some land for a courgette plant that is desperate to move into the bit world!!). If I spent as much time in the garden as I do in my craft space then I would have the most beautiful garden in the world!! (But I don't .. .. .. .. so I haven't).

The challenge over at Penny Black this weeks is "Buttons Galore".

Now I am someone who struggles with buttons - full stop! They usually get added to my cards and removed!!!!

But having said that .. .. .. I quite like this creation and will probably find myself making the same card again - and here it is:

This creation used:

Image: Penny Black 3788F "Art of Love"
Sentiment: Penny Black "Critter Party"
Flowers punched from X Cut punches
Little gems and "buttons galore" from my stash box


I would never had made this card if I wasn't entering it for a challenge and yet I really love it now it is finished.

Well off to the garden. Have a great day.

I am hoping to be back with my Allsorts Challenge entry later.

Love Jules xx
