July's Sarah's Cards challenge

You may remember last month I went a bit off the wall in one of my typical zany moments and did this LO inspired by my new bag for the Sarah's Cards challenge well you wouldn't believe it but I won!!! I was so surprised pleased shocked and over the moon I was feeling pretty low the past few weeks and having a little shopping spree courtesy of Sarah's Cards was a great pick me up :) I actually had 2 little spree's as I had a little extra cash so went shopping then got my prize and went shopping again lol

This month the challenge is to follow a sketch by the gorgeous and talented Rachel Elliott who has sadly left the DT there for pastures new. I loved the sketch and knew straight off I would have to use one of the large doilies I had got in my spree for the circular element of it. I used Cosmo Cricket Odds and Ends PP's from this months Gottacraft kit and the twine and button are also from the kit with the lace from my stash. I made a pompom with some of the twine then flattened it a little and topped with a button and stuck it all on a cut out element from one of the pp's to make the flower.
The journalling is hidden behind the photo you can just see the green frame poking out either side. The photo is of myself and my younger brother in 1982 and although I often wished for an older brother or a sister it was always just the 2 of us :)
