The Clean & Simple Challenge was to use brads or eyelets. I really don't like using eyelets. They are my least favorite embellies. I decided to use some up for this challenge! LOL! I used a retired stamp set, retired eyelets and retired Zig Painty. Thanks for taking a peek!!!

I too don`t usually like eyelets (then why do I have so many???) but they look perfect on this tugboat card! They remind me of little life preservers! Love that ribbon. TFS!

CarrollAnn! This is so cute! (I love eyelets too, as much as the dang brayer! Shh.....bad word, to me!) Well, they are a bear to work with, but nothing would have been more perfect than your mini portr holes. Adorable card sistah! XO
