CYAO 37

Well, this week was a challenge because I completely forgot about the challenge until 10 PM Tuesday night.  Between having all 4 kids home this weekend, picking up at college and taking them back and wondering what Hurricane Sandy was going to do to us, I just forgot.  The kids had a great weekend and we were very fortunate that Hurricane Sandy didn't give us nearly as much as was predicted!

 
Use 3:  Lace, Handmade Ribbon Flower, Border Punch, 
Dry Embossing, Stickles/Liquid Pearls, Metal

Here is my last minute submission:


I used Lace, Border Punch (Dark Pink Paper) and Stickles on the candles.
