Hobby House Midway Reminder

Yay, it's the weekend!

I don't know where the weeks are going. Time seems to be flying by and I haven't even started my Christmas shopping yet, let alone made enough cards. Think I could end up buying some :(

Anyway I'm here to remind you that you still have time to enter this month's Hobby House challenge 

which is  Pearls.

There's a fabulous prize 

but remember you need to include at least one item from The Hobby House. Since this month's challenge is pearls that shouldn't be too difficult. Jill has a fantastic array of pearls including the pearl strings, which look great on vintage cards.

I've made a criss-cross card using a lovely Elizabeth Bell image from the Christmas Angels topper sheet.

The base of the card was made using kraft and the design papers are from the Authentique 'Wonder' collection.

I've used a variety of pearls on my card: 

5mm flatback ivory pearls

Pearl string

Ornate flourish pearls

Large pearl brad around the ribbon

Dies used :

Spellbinders ovals and Scalloped ovals

TH Bigz - Hardware Findings

Martha Stewart edge punch

The card has been finished with roses, cherry blossoms and pointsettias, all available from The Hobby House.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Winter Wonderland - Fairies or Angels

Crafty Ribbons - Anything Goes with Ribbon

Cute card Thursday - So Angelic

Lori Designs - Ribbon and Bows

The Crafter's Cafe - 'Embellish like a crazy person'

Inky Impressions - Red and Green

Craft-Dee Bowz with handmade bow

Have a lovely weekend.

Big Hugs,
