Firstly I must say a huge thank you to Sam for nominating me for another blog award!
If you are tagged, you should pass this award on to other bloggers you feel make you think, and link to the original post HERE.
Here goes;
I would like to nominate the following bloggers who I find inspirational;
Gillian - I think Gillian's work speaks for itself really _ it is all totally fabulous, but more than that Gillian is such a generous person, always making time to leave comments on peoples work.
Jo - Jo brings so much to the cardmaking world her cards are so inspiring and totally original. If ever I am stuck for an idea I just have to look at Jo's work and pretty soon I feel inspired!!
Lynne - I just love this lady's work!! What a fab addition she has been to the Daring cardmakers blog!! Love her use of papers - Oh and she just happens to be a fabaroonie scrapbooker too!!!
There are so many more people I would like to nominate but I would be here all day!!
Ok back to the dare for today.
I know you've all got buttons stashed away somewhere, whether they've been purchased at a cardmaking store or you thriftily snipped them off DH's old shirt. I'd like you to find those buttons and use them somewhere on a card. They can be real buttons, craft shop buttons, die cut buttons, faux buttons or another type of button, surprise us all.
I am trying to think about my Christmas card designs this year so I am trialing a few different cards.
pp BG fruitcake, mm metal sentiment, and buttons from stash.
Thanks for looking
Sarah

Tou must make a card with a frill - it could be some lace, frilly ribbon, a hand cut or decorative scissor edge or a folded paper frill - or what ever you choose to make.... you decide!
Fabaroonie dare set by Jo this week!! I had a picture of a card in my head that I wanted to make that was romantic and pretty, it didn't quite come out as planned!!!!!! Half way through making it I almost gave up but I was determined to salvage something from the mess I had made!!!! So here it is - a card probably only suitable to send to a Gothic couple on their wedding day or anniversary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!
Unfortunately for me I don't really know any Goths, so I guess this will sit in the card box forever, or until I decide to pull it apart and re use what I can!
Gothy bits used - pp crate avenue and scraps, Heidi Swapp chipboard, bloom and primas, brad from stash. I made the frilly bit with a length of organza ribbon which I gathered up and stitched.
I may have another go at this dare over the weekend and see if I can come up with something I actually like!!(3 weeks in the sun has obviously affected my cardmaking skills!)
Enjoy the weekend!
