Buttons and Bows

Good morning and I hope you are all managing to keep warm in these very low temperatures. Not forgetting the snow in the north of England and Scotland.

Yesterday evening I suddenly realised that I had a DT card due for International Art and Soul and I hadn't actually made one.  Panic stations!! Well, 15 minutes later I finished this very CAS card - and that time included computer generating the sentiment!  I have never made one this quickly  and I'm sure it will never happen again.

My Card
 
 
Recipe
5" square scalloped card
patterned paper - I think it's a scrap of LOTV
ribbon - another scrap
button - my button box
 
It's amazing what you can do if you try  Certainly not my usual style, but at least I managed it in time.
Why not pop over to the blog and see what my teamies have come up with - all far superior to mine I can assure you!!
 
Well take care and enjoy the rest of the weekend.  I think my day will be spent round the fire!

After reading your blogpost I have to think about a phrase in a song: Baby, it's cold outside..'. Well, it is!! I will never get used to it.
I like your CAS card very much.

It's a delightful & pretty card, and amazing to think how speedily you were able to get this one made. Love the little prezzie wrapped in the dotty paper, then the extra detail of the dotty ribbon to tie it. Well done, and glad you were able to make your deadline. TFS & Hugs
