Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 88

With all the kids back at school it finally gave me some time to stamp! I love having them home but are ready for some time to myself by the time they go back! Which I guess sounds like every mum! LOL! Thought I would start with the Sweet Sunday sketch I love the sketches Karen comes up with! For the button I tied a bow with the linen thread and then added a brad to the middle, pushing it through the button holes and bending the pins behind to keep it in place! It was just a random brad I had in my stash that matched! Love it when that happens!!! LOL!

I have a few challenges on my list to do this week so I hope to be back tomorrow with something else to show you! Sorry about the photos I think I need new batteries for the camera!
Recipe:

Stamps: Just believe

Card: Pacific point, sahara sand and very vanilla

Ink: Sahara sand and pacific point

DSP: Blueberry crisp

Accessories: Very vanilla button and 3/8"satin ribbon, linen thread and a random brad
