Don't be square!

Hello all and I hope that you've had a good week? We've had a pretty good one, albeit a busy one!  But looking forward to a quiet evening as all offspring are out and sleeping over at friends so it means that hubby and I can have a relaxing evening to ourselves (although not forgetting an attention seeking dog and an equally demanding cat).

I must apologise to my DT team mates at CraftyCatz for being so late in sharing my creation for the fabulous new challenge starting today!  I usually schedule a post in - but my poor addled brain forgot last night!  Oops!  Anyway, our lovely Christine has challenged us to create anything - but not a square!  I've made a very long thin DL shape card


I've used a lovely sentiment from Whimsy for the main focus, the paper is from First Edition. I've added some red ribbon from stash - as is the sweet wooden rocking horse (can't remember where I got that from!), with a large fabric covered brad from K&Co. I've added a couple of die cut poinsettias using Marianne dies.
So quite a simple one from me, but I love the sentiment!

So do pop over to CraftyCatz and see the fabulous DT inspiration - they have made some fantastic creations this week! 
Back soon
