Heartfelt Creations- Day 2



Hello Everyone,

I'm trying a different layout today with my chat up front followed by the cards.  I'm sure lots of people are really not too bothered about the card instructions unless it's something really different :):).

Two more Heartfelt Creations projects using the Decorative Basket Collection to share today. 

The first is quite my favourite I have to say. This image is just so pretty and I coloured it to match a strip of card saved from a store bought card. The trim is pretty too, a bargain bin find!  When gathered it made a pretty flower with a self covered button centre.

Friday is AnnaBelle Stamps challenge day. After a great week showing the new August sets we hope you'll join in with this weeks challenge.  Andrea has some wonderful things happening soon so stay in touch.  See you tomorrow, here are today's cards:
