Inventory Challenge #33



Good morning everyone and a very happy Friday to all! Gosh, I can't believe I haven't posted since last Friday....it's been an incredibly hectic week.
Danielle and I welcome you to our Inventory Challenge. The theme this week is "Pile It On...layers, layers, layers". Since my crafting time this week was so limited, I decided on a vintage card. I used papers from the BoBunny Gabrielle collection. The flower and gorgeous corner were gifts from my sweet friend, Jacque and the beautiful butterfly was a gift from my dear friend Claudia. Thank you so much for those lovely and thoughtful gifts.
I used an MS corner/border punch and the ribbon/lace is from my stash.
I would like to invite you to visit my dear friends and teammates, DANIELLE, RENE and CATHYLYNN and see the gorgeous creations they came up with.

The theme for next week will be: Color/Combo:white and one other color

Thank you so very much for visiting my humble blog and I always appreciate your comments. Hugs!

I am on millipede patrol....I am being invaded by these ugly critters and the exterminator cannot come until the rain ends! This is freaking me out!!!!!!!!!!
