Beads & Baubles
I’m turning into a last minute creator! What is up with that??? Totally stresses me out. I don’t like trying to be crafty on a short deadline. So today I squeezed out two card and this one is in just in time for the Moxie Fab World deadline. Oh wait, I just saw this is a two week challenge. Duh. Oh well, now I am way ahead. ha.
Gorgeous inspiration photo, right? Love all the bling and colors and vintage feel. I couldn’t wait to create something for this trigger. Hopefully, I can do it justice.
I tried to recreate the blingy vintage style with the butterflies, buttons and crochet trim.

That is really beautiful, Lisa! You’ve captured that Trigger perfectly. I was rushing to work on an entry for this one, too, until I realized it’s a two-weeker. I’m going to take the extra time for mine!

Wow, what a stunning way to use lace ribbon! Thanks for the inspiration!
P.S. It’s all your fault that both Lindsey and I bought the new Ippity set Pain and Pride. LOL
