SO VERY THANKFUL ~ CHALLENGE YOURSELF

Good Evening ladies,
Tonight I am sharing my layout for the challenge over at Challenge Yourself . I like to join in their challenges whenever I can.
The Criteria



and this is my take 


So very Thankful for the wonderful Boy in my Life


This is my beautiful Grandson with his two Nanna's on Grandparents Day.
I made my banner from Calico and bakers twine

I have had the cards for a long time (everything comes in handy eventually )
Some old buttons from my Mum's button tin.



Then I made a heart from the piece of  wet felting that Bec taught us on our little retreat in the mountains. I added some very bad stiching around it to emphasise the shape of the heart. I have added string from the buttons to the heart to anchor them together , so I guess you could say I have two banners :)
Thanks so much for calling by, nearly the weekend and I hope it is a good one for you.
Love, Peace and Kindess
Mary x
