The CCEE challenge this week was given by Joanne. She challenged us to make a card with an international flair. I chose Viola, a Stampin' Up stamp set that I have had for a while. I chose Viola, a Stampin' Up stamp set that I have had for a while. It is the closest thing I have to fall under the International flair category. I love this chef, I never tire of using it. I decided to use brads for his buttons. The sentiment is from squigglefly. The challenge over there on the squgglefly challenge blog is to use a paper clip, a flower and patterned paper on your card. I tied checked ribbon on the paperclip to give it more color.

Hi Shirley - thanks for the encouraging comments on some of my cards. You are too kind. It helped lift me up as I just can't get my mojo going. I look at my craft space and turn away. Now, you know I'm in trouble if I do that. Anyway, I wanted to take a peek at what you have been up to. The brads for buttons is genious and I love that stamp set. I never bought it, but sure do enjoy seeing you use it so perfectly. I love that sentiment. Guess I need to take me a "swig" of wine tonight to see if my age improves. Something has to work, don't ya think???
