First, sorry for the late posting. I had a little hiccup in my scheduled post, for some reason it didn't change from a draft. So, hopefully all is well now.
Ok, I had to change my card too, because I didn't follow the recipe!

Paula is our hostess over @ Our Creative Corner. And she has some of the most creative challenges! This week she has a recipe challenge. You need to use denim, 3 ribbons/twines, and 3 buttons or brads on your paper craft item. Sounds pretty fun, huh? Paula, also gave us a photo and a little explanation:
I'm an Arkansan. We wear jeans all the time... work, church, play, even weddings. You name it, we can make the denim work. So dress it up or dress it down but use 3 ribbons or twine, 3 buttons or brads, and some denim on a project.
So, here is what I made:
I used some pretty pattern papers from Teresa Collins. I have to admit, that I just love her designs. She makes some very pretty pattern papers and embellishments.
I found this denim ruffled ribbon at a local shop and thought how pretty! I used some seam binding, a bit of baker's twine and a scrap piece of stitched ribbon. I used a favorite buttons: Paper Trey Ink Vintage. Love 'em! I wanted a blossom of some kind, but couldn't get anything to look appropriate, so I punched some floral shapes from pattern papers and used two white brads to hold them together. I also used a die to cut some white leaves to complete the blossoms.
I used one of my 'go to' label stamps: Four Frames by Stampin' Up! The sentiment is from another stamp set. You know me; mix, match, and the kitchen sink!

I hope that you get a chance to play along with us this week. Add some denim to your paper craft item, along with 3 ribbons/twine and 3 buttons/brads, and you never know, you could be our next Top Talent! over @ Our Creative Corner!
