Quaint little place


Quaint little place

Back in March, I stopped by a quaint little place for lunch [en route to the Blue Mountains]. The place was actually closed but I used my charm *winks* to get the chef to re-open the kitchen. *LOL*


A little fussy-cutting, paper-pleating and stamping on an ice-cream stick.

I was inspired by the sketch at Sketchy Thursdays and the challenge at Scrapbookers Anonymous to use mini paper pads. I used my 8 X 8 Graphic 45 paper pad.

Supplies: Graphic 45 patterned paper. Prima canvas letters, Making Memories stamp, brads, wrinkle ribbon, distress inks, tag, butterfly embellishment, thread.

P/s: Don't forget about my guest Kirsty's crepe paper challenge...it ends on Friday! :)
