Buttons & Bows!

Good morning! It's Friday! That means at least two good things - it's nearly the weekend and it's also time for a new challenge at CraftyCatz lol!  And can I just add a big welcome to my new followers!  We're getting wrapped up warm because we're now getting truly seasonal winter weather - i.e. it's gone really cold!  I just wish I could get rid of this horrible cough! I don't usually get coughs (sniffly colds yes, but not coughs lol!) - but once they get settled in it seems to take ages to shift them! So I'm having lots of hot lemon & honey, and just trying not to pass it on to everyone else (although I've a suspicion that I caught this off my darling husband - so nice of him to share things....). But I'm hoping that if we have some frosty weather it will help to kill off all the nasty cold bugs that seem to be lingering around - keep your fingers crossed!

Anyway, as I said before the waffling started, it's time for a new challenge over at CraftyCatz and it's yours truly - ME! - who is hosting this week's challenge.  I've picked a nice easy one for everyone - Buttons & Bows!  We're also looking for a Guest DT member for February - so if you fancy joining us for a month just add 'GDT' alongside your name on your entry. They really are a great bunch of people to work with! So this is my DT sample

I've used a cute WeeStamps from SylviaZett 'Dandelion Girl'

I've coloured her with promarkers.  The papers are First Edition, and the die cuts are DooHickey 'lovely fence'and Memory Box tree.  And I decided to try a stepper card for a change!

and of course lots of buttons and a bow!
So do hope that you'll pop over to CraftyCatz and have a look at the great DT inspiration - and then get your stash of buttons & ribbons out and join in!  There's a fantastic crafty goody bag from Mulberry Crafts as a prize for the winner! 
Have a great weekend
Back soon, 
Kim x 

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:-
DivasbyDesign - anything goes
CuteCardThursday - beat the blues
PennysPaperCrafty - anything goes
TotallyStampalicious - buttons & bows
StamptacularSundayChallenge - don't be square

    Such a wonderful creation Kim. Love the image and all of the detail. A really little tableau. Hope your cough move on soon. You have had that for a while. I have been struggling with bugs since just after Christmas Time. Roll on the Spring.

    Hi Kim, how sweet is this card. I love the image, reminds me of when my girls used to do that. Loving the buttons along the fence.
    Felt a bit strange not posting at the same time for TP.
    Hope you get rid of your horrid cold hun.
    Hugs Sue W.
