Just got back from a fantastic five day break in Scotland and I'm afraid my scheduled Bah! Humbug! post just didn't happen! Think I'm to blame not Mr Blogger, but no worries as I can post my cards now and with all the celebrations that were going on yesterday I doubt very much if anyone even noticed my lack of posting.
Our challenge this week is 'Pleats and Ruffles' and luckily while doing my mass ribbon sort out recently I found this amazing ribbon with a cord running through it that could be pulled to scrunch up the whole ribbon eventually forming a sort of circular rosette. I attached a gemstone brad to the centre and kept the whole card fairly simple so that the focus is on the ribbon. I had intended this to be the sort of card to have in your card box that could be used for any celebration near Christmas, but my daughter (alias chief critic and top advisor in these matters) says it's much better as a Christmas card.
My second sample is another gift bag. This time I pleated a 12 inch strip of Christmas designer paper to create a ruffle and attached this to the a tag for the bag. A snowflake brad attached with pinflair glue finishes the tag off.
Additional Challenges:
- Crafty Ann's - Fancy Folds - my fancy folds are on the rosette tag on my bag
Have a great weekend everyone.

Really lovely card Ann, the rosette looks fab. Debs xx
Love 'em both Ann - and your scheduled post not happening may not heve been your fault, because my top three scheduled post didn't happen either, and I know I did everything right. Glad you had such a great time.

Lovely projects.
thanks for your comments on the St Lukes blog - if you live in Sheffield, you can take your card to ANY of the St Luke's shops and they will take them to the hospice for you if that's easier than going to the hospice itself. Thanks Tara x
Wow Ann beautiful creations and I love that ribbon. Blogger let me down on Friday too - those pesky gremlins again
