Hi Best Blogging Buddies..
Another two weeks have magically disappeared somewhere ... and we're back again at Anything Goes.... this time the challenge theme is to 'Make Your Own Background'! A few thoughts and ideas came to my head, but I decided to ignore them (!) and use some of my pink scraps that have been piling up lately! So I spent a while cutting these squares, (I didn't use a punch, just my little guillotine)... then I stuck them all on a square card.... and hey presto!! All I felt it needed was a simple Happy Birthday sentiment (done on the PC), cut with Nesties Labels 4. I sponged the pink on to the label shape before I took the die off after embossing the edge. I added a couple of gems, and a little bow and it was done!
Hope you like this home made background idea.... why don't you pop over to the blog here to see my fab teamies' creations too... you're sure to get inspiration there.
We had some wonderful entries for the Summer Days challenge... check out to see if you were a winner!
Big hugs
