As You Like It Challenge #80 - Big Bows or Little Bows & WHY

Hi Crafters,

Thank you for all the lovely comments here on my blog recently and the well wishes regarding my mum and her hip operation. She is doing very well with her recovery and hopefully will be back to her old self soon. I hope that I have the same outlook and determination when I'm 84!

I am still staying with her for a few more days yet, just popped home for a few things and to write this post, so my regular commenting won't resume just yet, however I can see your comments when the internet works on my phone at her house.

Now on to the business at hand...

A new challenge at As You Like It!

We'd like to see your projects using your favourite BIG or LITTLE BOWS and WHY, please tell us why you have made your choice in your post to be eligible for the prize which brings me nicely to our sponsor for this time...

Sweet 'n' Sassy Stamps

offering $10 to the lucky winner.

I prefer small bows as I find them easier to tie and less bulky for posting too.

This is a CraftsUprint digital image and background manipulated in MCS program to fit a 7 inch square card.

This card is entirely digital except for the ribbon and bow. I printed the images a few times and layered them up for dimension.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

Lil' Patch of Crafty Friends - #34 ATG

Crafting From The Heart - #112 ATG

Why not pop over to the blog and see the inspirational and fabulous projects from the other DT members, then come and join in with us, this is a nice and easy challenge as I'm sure we all love to use bows on our projects.

Well that's it from me,

Lorraine

Sharing an Oldie on Friday with Erika

Hi Crafters,

Hope you are just fine and dandy, it's Friday and the end of the week so I'm happy! 

A quick post today to share an 'Oldie' with Erika at Snappy Crafts.

This card was made for an order 18 months ago which required shoes and handbags as the theme, I think this download from CraftsUprint fitted the bill.

Recipe

CraftUprint - Backing papers, shoes and handbag images.

Gold Peel-offs

Pearls

I sized the background and images to fit my 7 x 7 card and then printed the shoes and handbag a few times for layering.

If you'd like to join in with this fun Friday look back at old crafty projects then give Erika a look on her blog and let her know you are playing along.

Well that's all I have time for today, a busy day ahead finishing off orders for February.  I am very pleased that I have caught up with things that my computer breakdown had set me back with. Lets hope I can keep up the momentum throughout the year! Well that's my plan anyway. :)

See you soon,

Lorraine
